If the boot drive is a SATA then you must build
it into the kernel, not as a module
Such as CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
Make all the SATA related as “y” in the
.config and rebuild your xen kernel. If they are built as modules they will not
be loaded until the kernel is booted (and of course the kernel cannot boot w/o SATA)

Subject: [Xen-users] Xen 3.1
kernel panics on RHEL4u5
I am trying to install Xen 3.1 (with Linux kernel
2.6.18) from source on a machine running RHEL4u5 (2.6.9-55.ELsmp), but I am
getting kernel panics. I've listed the KPs below. The first listing
is with an initrd image specified, and the second one is without an initrd
image. For the second listing, I am only including the portion
that differs from the first.
With initrd image:

Some of the threads I've seen indicate that missing
SATA support might be the culprit, but the SATA portions of my kernel
configuration files seem to be identical in the relevant areas:
