On a Supermicro H8SSL-I2 Server with a 3ware 8006-2LP controller I can boot the
system
using the plain xen-kernel and initrd (from LVM) but as soon as the hypervisor
is loaded
before the kernel booting fails already inside the initrd telling me that the
logical
volume ("system/root" in my case) cannot be found - 3ware controller
drivers are loaded
and seem operational.

The same system and kernel will boot flawlessly without the hypervisor loaded
before.

Off course this does not change anything in the way a system boots but the
hypervisor obvously changes the way hardware is accessed isn't it ?

Its not speculation its a fact - on this system the same kernel and initrd only
are able to boot without the hypervisor loaded -
Don't believe it - contact me by PM you can have IP-KVM-Access to that
system convince yourself . Or give me a call or skype me if you want ... Contact
details by PM if you'd like it ..
