Hi all
I was reading through Xen 3 user manual and saw this tap:aio should be 
used instead of loopback...
Then I came to do that, but I can get it working with replacing `file' 
URI's with `tap:aio'.
My OS: Debian Lenny 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64
DomU Xen configuration file:
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64'
memory      = '1024'
root        = '/dev/xvda1 ro'
disk        = [
                  'tap:aio:/xen/domains/test1/manu.img,xvda1,w',
                  'tap:aio:/xen/domains/test1/disk.img,xvda2,w',
              ]
name        = 'test1'
vif         = [ 'ip=10.1.1.50,mac=00:16:3E:51:E4:AD' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
The errors from console:

Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/sda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

=========================================
I modprobed the xenblktap module and also googled, but no success.
Thanks for any comment.
