Thanks, Todd - that did help a bit.  I now see that the root's not being 
mounted:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps says to use xvd devices, so 
I'm doing that, as well as using tap:aio.  'xm block-list' on the domain gives 
me:

Vdev  BE handle state evt-ch ring-ref BE-path
51713  0    0     1      -1     -1    /local/domain/0/backend/tap/30/51713
51714  0    0     1      -1     -1    /local/domain/0/backend/tap/30/51714

I wish I understood more about what this output means, but the event channel ID 
of -1 for these devices doesn't seem like a good sign.

Could it be that something's missing from the initramfs I'm using?  I had 
thought that the Ubuntu intrepid stuff was ready to go as a 64-bit domU.
