Xen users - Apr 2006 - 3w-xxxx scsi problem, Xen will not boot

Hi

Has anyone experienced any problems trying to install Xen 3.0 on  
Ubuntu (RAID 10) with the 3ware drivers? I have provided the details  
below, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

====
On boot, the 3ware controller fails and the system then can''t find / 
dev/sda2/
It appears that the 3ware RAID drivers aren''t working.
However, the kernel has scsi_mod, sd_mod and 3w-xxxx built in.
Note that I have a normal Ubuntu kernel installed that works fine  
with the 3ware controller.
I have tried a number of options in the kernel config to get through  
this, but no luck so far.

I am using this page as a model: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ 
XenVirtualMachine/XenOnUbuntuBreezy
According to this, you can''t do this install without comiling from  
source.

prior to a reboot, i am doing the following:

make linux-2.6-xen-config
make linux-2.6-xen-build
echo $?
make linux-2.6-xen-install
echo $?
depmod 2.6.12.6-xen
mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd-2.6.12.6-xen.img /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-xen
init 6

this is during the boot process

3w-xxxx: scsi0: Found 3aware storage controller at 0xbc00, IRQ: 72

[104.280261] 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Warning: Unit #0: Command (0x12) timed  
out, resetting card
scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 0  
channel 0 id 0 lun 0

note: counts from Unit #0-15 then stops. the eventually drops to  
shell as follows:

Alert! /dev/sda2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

You don''t happen to be using a Gigabyte motherboard are you?
