Is the disk correctly reported as sda1 during the installation process? I'd 
say this is less of a XEN specific error and closer to something that has 
gone wrong with the actual SUSE 10.1 installation. I remember problems with 
SLES 9 with newer SATA hardware being picked up as hda in the install, but 
then sda during the actual boot of the system, which leads to obvious errors 
in terms of referring to the first hard disk.

I'd set XEN aside for the time being and start thinking about getting a 
vanilla installation to boot.
