Ah right.  DomU kernels won't generally boot if DevFS is compiled in: the Xen 
virtual disk drivers do not appear in DevFS.  You can either statically 
create the device nodes for the domain, or you can upgrade to udev (which is 
known to work).

DevFS works fine in dom0 because *real* disks do appear in DevFS.  A decision 
was taken not to support DevFS with the *virtual* disks, since DevFS was 
deprecated by that stage.

Hope that helps,
Mark
