Bit of a follow-up. If I try to start the DomU, it initally errors as  
so:
root@xenserver:/etc/xen# xm create -c squid1.cfg
Using config file "squid1.cfg".
Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not  
found.
and then shows up as paused in 'xm list'

If I then attach a console to it, then unpause I see the following  
error at the end:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown- 
block(0,0)
I've tried adding /dev/ nodes using MAKEDEV in both the Dom0 and DomU  
and tried changing sda to hda, to no avail.
Anyone got a pointer to where I can start looking?

Cheers
