Are you using the prebuilt unprivileged-domain kernel image? If so, the
one in 2.0.1 at least (maybe others, not sure) has devfs support
enabled. This breaks things. I suggest you rebuild your domU kernel
_without_ devfs support, and it should work correctly. I had this same
problem when I began playing with Xen, but after rebuilding the kernel
as I mentioned, it all worked correctly.
