I am very sorry for this nonsense... this was my first attempt at using 
CentOS 4.1 with Xen. The reason for the error was the udev issue (as 
explained for FedoraCore 3) in the wiki. Perhaps I should add some lines 
there... ?
So the problem was solved by:
mkinitrd --builtin=ata_piix /boot/initrd-2.6.12.3-xen0.img 2.6.12.3-xen0
and adding the initrd to the grub configuration.

Just confused...
