The IDE controllers on the box are :
00:05.0 IDE interface: Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host
Controller (rev 02)
00:0f.1 IDE interface: Broadcom CSB6 RAID/IDE Controller (rev a0)

On normal debian install/kernel, the broadcom gets loaded first. On the
Xen kernel; the Sil controller gets in first.

Interestingly, the only way i got the Xen kernel to boot was to use
yaird rather than the standard mkinitrd, that is the only one which
compiles a proper list of my modules.

Nice one, i had forgotten about that one, that would indeed explain the
behavior.

I have to paste this in, this is the boot from the Xen kernel :

SiI680: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:05.0
SiI680: chipset revision 2
SiI680: BASE CLOCK == 133
SiI680: 100% native mode on irq 16
    ide0: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
    ide1: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio

SvrWks CSB6: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

Probing IDE interface ide2...
hde: TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

It actually booted up properly BUT (that's the important bit here), GRUB
wanted this to be able to start :

title           Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
kernel          /xen-3.0-i386.gz noreboot
module          /vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-xen-686 root=/dev/hde1 ro
module          /initrd.img-2.6.16-2-xen-686
