Having the bootlog from a native build of 2.6.12.5 would be useful to
compare against the 2.6.12.5-xen0.

When running native linux, what driver is used for the SATA controller?
Are you sure its actually compiled in to our -xen0 config?

Incidently, have you tried using the -xen kerenel plus modules that are
in our -unstable install tar ball?  This is the kernel that end-users
are intended to use: -xen0/-xenU are just for developers' convenience
(fewer modules, faster to build).

Best,
Ian
