Earlier in the boot process, do you see messages from Xen detecting your hard drive, and then from domain 0 doing a partition check on hda?

e.g. on my SCSI machine I should see the following from Xen:

scsi0 : percraid Vendor: DELL Model: PERCRAID Volume Rev: V1.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 SCSI device sda: 286716544 512-byte hdwr sectors (146799 MB) sda: Write Protect is off

... and the following from domain 0:

DOM0: pty: 256 Unix98 ptys configured DOM0: Skipping partition check on cdrom /dev/hda DOM0: Partition check: DOM0: sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 < sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9 sda10 sda11 sda12
sda13 sda14 sda15 > DOM0: RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize DOM0: loop: loaded (max 8 devices) DOM0: NET4: Linux TCP/IP 1.0 for NET4.0

What happens if you use one of the standard linux kernels on the DemoCD rather than Xen?

I have reached a partial solution stage..

I made initrd.img for xenolinux and added it to grub boot menu for xenolinux

module /boot/initrd-2.4.24-xeno.img

The boot process proceeds..during "Checking for new hardware", floppy drive, zip drive, cdrom, ethercards are removed!!

Boot sequence does complete and I can see the dom0 prompt.

I have no idea as to how to handle the hardware problem part..
