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.
