Getting "Cannot open root device" on a pretty vanilla setup. Xen seems to see the device but xenolinux does not. I'm stumped.

I'm grasping at straws here, but please can you try the pre-built binaries in the install/boot directory in the following tar ball:

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/netos/xen/downloads/xeno-1.2.tar.gz

I would expect the prebuilt xenolinux to work -- see my earlier note about the one Mark gave me; it works too. My guesstimate right now is a compiler problem (gcc 3.0); I will let you know.
