Thanks!  That one boots (don't specify console=...) -- but then also gets
dropped into the BusyBox shell due to ``No init found.'' -- the same
which I also saw with another kernel, and which independently was
reported at
<http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.user/msg/04310801bbce6417>.

At this point, nothing is mounted on /root -- it's supposed to be an ext3
filesystem based on a LVM LV.  And the very strange thing is that
/dev/mapper/ does contain only one LV device, and that is the swap LV
(254,0), but not the root filessystem one.  If I manually run ``lvm
vgchange -ay'' the missing LVs appear, root (254,1) and data (254,2).
How would I manually resume the booting process from here?

The exactly same arrangement boots without any problems with a non-Xen
kernel.  This is a up-to-date Debian testing, by the way.  Help?


Regards,
 Thomas
