I am pretty sure that you need to rebuild your initrd for your guest. Can you
search the mailing list archives (xen.markmail.org) for things like debian and
initrd, mkinitramfs and scsi, and combinations of those?

If still no luck, let us know, probably someone who has built a initrd on debian
recently could advise.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Todd
