Xen users - Aug 2012 - Failure to boot Xen 4.1.2 kernel 2.6.32.40 with Ubuntu 10.04.4

After successful creation of the Xen kernel and entry into grub, whenever I try
and boot into the Xen kernel I receive the following error:

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
   - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
                - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
                - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
   - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/sda6 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Here is the entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst
