What was the exact failure mode you observed? It doesn't seem like it's 
the same problem I'm seeing...

My domU doesn't get booted to anywhere near the point where fstab would 
make a difference. After the message:
    xen_blk: Initialising virtual block device driver
There is no message like:
   Registering block device major xxx
Which looks to me like the kernel is simply not finding any block device 
at all. Presumably this is because xen didn't provide one for it. Why it 
does that, I don't know. But it used to work just fine a few weeks ago.
