With my personal experiences with numerous attempts to install Xen
from src, i suggest make an initramfs/initrd image. That is pretty
much useful at times.
Take more care to include your root fs type to be built statically in
the kernel and not as a module. Can yo check on this?
Also same goes for your /boot fs type(if you have a separate /boot
partition though).

And yes, what about your scsi and SATA drivers?
Are they built into the kernel or not?

Hope this helped somehow.

Thanks
