Ah, sorry, I've missread your post, I thought you have problems booting
dom0, but it's a domU...
Then the first you should do is to chech your "root=.." entry like
Jan-Petter Kruger suggested.
If you still want to give yaird a try, I had a look how I did it and
here are my domU yaird config file and (a bit hackish) the templates
file. But be warned, the root device is hardcoded to /dev/hda1 and xfs
as filesystem. Have a look at the "TEMPLATE postlude" section. (The
problem is, that XEN doesn't provide a "hda" if you export a block
device hda1, but yaird depends on that).

Hope it helps.

Greetings,
Markus
