But they probably enabled 'Viridian compatibility mode' which makes
XenServer look more like HyperV, probably to make Windows guests behave
btter.  Linux 3.1 now checks for Xen before HyperV, to avoid being
fooled by this.  That might be a problem if it causes the kernel to
detect different emulated devices.  (I don't know whether it could have
this effect.)

Which drivers are in the initramfs?  Does
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf have MODULES=dep (which is
vulnerable to configuration changes) or MODULES=most (which is safer)?
