Well, the configuration of the virtual disk looks correct; the swap 
might disagree with it, but that shouldn't appear until later in the 
boot process. Perhaps it's an interaction with devfs? Do you have devfs 
enabled in your xenU (unprivileged domain) kernel? This gave me fits 
when I first began using Xen, mostly because it seems that the xenU 
prebuilt kernel that's included with the binary pack has devfs support 
enabled, and this breaks things. The only other possibility I can think 
of is that you need to change the block-device import to read-write.
