I did have a problem a few weeks back where the root device was not 
being detected in the guest.  I think it was a problem with my initrd 
but don't recall now.  I do not see this problem now.  In fact, with the 
latest 'Allow adding VIF devices to a VM in halted state' patch 
submitted to xen-devel, I am able to
- define a vm (VirtualSystemManagementService.DefineVirtualSystem())
- activate the vm
- pause/resume the vm
- deactivate the vm

I'm working on VirtualSystemManagementService.DestroyVirtualSystem() 
now.  Seems to be a bug in the provider code preventing this operation.
All of this functionality is available using tip of the XenCIM repo.  I 
do have a small commit outstanding that enables creating a vif.  This 
code was commented in Xen_VirtualSystemManagementService.c since the 
operation failed when calling into libxenapi.  The above mentioned patch 
fixes the problem in xend so I can now activate this code.  I will try 
to get this checked in shortly.
Jim
