You're right, with the following config I have a working domU - as far
as the block devices are concerned anyway.  (I did not have the hda/sda
problem: strange.)

kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-15-xen'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-15-xen'
memory      = '256'
root        = '/dev/xvda2 ro'
disk        = [
                  'tap:aio:/xen/domains/domU/swap.img,xvda1,w',
                  'tap:aio:/xen/domains/domU/disk.img,xvda2,w',
              ]
name        = 'domU'
dhcp        = 'dhcp'
vif         = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:6C:07:90' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
extra       = '2 console=xvc0'

Now I have to look at what you and other people have done to get a
functional console (got boot output but no getty) and networking.

And indeed xen-tools (3.8-4ubuntu4) has slipped in quietly to fix the
xvda problem and to add support for hardy guests.  It hasn't fixed the
tap:aio: instead of file: yet.

Agreed, I suppose.
