Bug Description

Using Xen 3.1 hypervisor running on OpenSuse 10.3. Using HVM environment. Selected Solaris 10 as guest.
NexentaCore 1.0.1 CD installs perfectly well with all defaults.
Reboot to get to your new system and kernel crashes. Initial lines are about the ide timeouts. It looks like adding atapi-[cd,other]-dma-enable=0 at the end of kernel line in grub does not affect it.
Looks like problems booting from ZFS root.

There is a way to accomplish this and there are instructions floating around to build a PV capable ISO install CD. Likely the instructions can be applied to the nexenta-builder package and xen support can work in NCP2.0 potentially with a backport to NCP1.x.
