Sorry to state the obvious, but does the file you are trying to use
(/var/local/xen/xmtest1/sda1) exist? What kernel are you trying to start
in your domU? You left that part of the config file out of your post. If
it is the kernel built to run in dom0, it probably has the filesystem
support you need built as a module (perhaps one of the people involved
with the builds can confirm or refute this), in which case you would
need to use an initrd or change the config to use a kernel built for a
domU.
