I've tried with 2.6.34.7 but still no luck:

Error: No /sbin/init found on rootdev (or not mounted). Trouble ahead. You can try to fix it. Type 'exit; when things are done.

Looks like a kernel config problem to me. Have you ever had a vanilla, non-xen 2.6.34.x kernel boot succefully on that machine?

Also, booting without "quiet" or "vga" on kernel command line arguments should be able to show more of what's happening. Most likely the driver for your disk controller was not loaded, or unable to function properly for some reason. Look for lines showing "sd" or "disk" in the boot process.

Regarding configs, I think all I did was copy a generic kernel config to sourcedir/.config (newer the better) and did a make oldconfig and configure from that point. It will certainly take longer to compile but that should be the least error prone when it comes to supporting your specific hardware. Alternatively you could use the .config's posted on the list, I've seen some even for the Xenified kernel.
