Xen devel - May 2007 - Problem booting Suse Linux VM "INIT: cannot execute "/etc/init.d/boot""

Hi Folks,
I create a file backed vbd to boot a guest VM as described in the Xen''s
user
manual in section ''Using File-backed VBDs". The Dom0 and the VBD
contain
Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10 (X86_64). I am not able to boot the guest
VM. During the boot process the INIT process generates an error saying

<snip>

fsck succeeded. Mounting root device read-write.

I am using the latest unstable Xen tree. Below is the full log. Thanks a lot
for any help.
