Try adding "dummy=dummy" in your dom0 kernel cmdline:

menuentry "Xen-test" {
set root='(hd0,1)'
multiboot /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1000M
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.15 dummy=dummy root=/dev/sda1 ro
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.15
}

I used the guide at
http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com<http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/> to
install xen-4.0.1-rc4-pre on top of Ubuntu 10.04 using the  2.6.32.15
kernel source from jeremy's repo. I got the kernel built and managed
to get xen all built and installed but when it's booting it drops to a
busybox shell after it finds my NIC(s). It says: Gave up waiting on
root device.

It's acts like it can't mount /dev/sda1 but I don't know why.

Not sure if this is correct.. but here is my 40_custom file:

menuentry "Xen-test" {
set root='(hd0,1)'
multiboot /boot/xen.gz dom0_mem=1000M
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.15 root=/dev/sda1 ro
module /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32.15
}

Thanks!
