hollis is correct, you should be able to get input even from SOL.

I updated the wiki on this now.

This is not how we usually set boot args, what you want to do is  
build Xen with CMDLINE=" -- root=/dev/hda2"
You may want to verify that linux is indeed installed in /dev/hda2  
which it looks like it is.

You also do not want anything else from here since your linux install  
should have ip setup and DMa on IDE is supported just fine.
What you may want to add is "sysrq=1 debug" to aid in debugging  
output of linux.
