That looks sane.

Yes, just checking - because you wouldn't be the first trying to boot
from the wrong place! ;-) [This is particularly the case when dealing
with "error 6", as that means "No such device" - error 2 is "no such
file or directory"]. 

You also get an error loading the IDE driver, which may be the cause of
all other problems. You may want to try rebuilding the kernel with a
builtin IDE driver (as you DO need that driver allways, using it as a
module is only to satisfy those who complain when they get an IDE driver
when they only have SCSI drives on the system). 

I've also CC'd this back to the Xen users list so that others may take
part in the communication.
