I have failed trying to install a VM using Debian's Installer with the
netinst.  The boot sequence ends with the following error message:
---
Registering block device major 202
XENBUS: Device with no driver: device/console/0
No filesystem could mount root, tried:  cramfs
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(202,1)
---

I tried to follow the very thin documentation from this link:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Xen

I don't understand how to do the step: "You need to copy the DomU
kernel's /lib/modules/<version> to the initrd. "

Here is my config file for the domU:
---
#  -*- mode: python; -*-
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64"
initrd = "/tmp/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz"
memory = "256"
maxmem = "1024"
name = "VM1"
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:00:00:05, ip=10.0.0.5' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mapper/xenvg-VM1,/dev/xvda1,w',
         'phy:/dev/mapper/xenvg-VM1--swap,/dev/xvda2,w' ]

root = "/dev/xvda1"
extra = 'console=hvc0 xencons=hvc0'
