Are you using the initrd image for the kernel so udev can load correctly?

Thats what I had to do to get past this point, admittedly I'm fairly new 
to Xen, but this issue seemed to be that the device node or driver didn't 
exist, and since udev handles the files in /dev, even under the 
xenoserver, then you would have to load the initrd image as well.
