xen dom-u hangs on boot

Friday we had a working installation.  We moved our computer room into new space
and for several reboots all was well.  Now I have one Xen domain that is hanging
during boot.

Here ais the boot log

[root@tuxen ~]# xm create -c zimbra

Here is the config file for the virtual machine

name = "zimbra"
memory = 8192
#extra = 'console=xvc0'
#disk = [ "phy:zimbra/zimbra,xvda,w","phy:zimbrastore/zimbrastore,xvdb,w" ]
disk = [ "phy:zimbra/zimbra,xvda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:41:30:65,bridge=vlanbr104" ]
vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,keymap=en-us" ]
uuid = "47a0004e-0e86-d802-813b-a8864d507c10"
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
vcpus = 4
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"

I have tried several values for the "extra" line but have not seen any change
in the output or the behavior.  I removed the second disk to try and simplfy
the configuration.

The domain-0 is
Linux tuxen.udfc.com 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Jan 26 14:19:09 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thats Redhat 5.3.  

I know this is a Centos group but all of the dom-u's are
centos 5.3.  

Where an I not looking ?

It seems that the xvdb device is broken or not have a correct partition table. You can try to boot the DomU without this device - you have changed the Xen configuration, but also need to remove /dev/xvdb from  DomU /etc/fstab file.

Very similar to mount attempt of a broken or non-existent partition.
