I wonder if you replaced a non-Xen kernel with a Xen one, rather than
installing it as an additional kernel?

Perhaps your map file doesn't really show what's considered hd0 and hd1.
Try issuing root (hd1,0), and see what difference it makes.  You can
just type in (hd and hit the tab key, you'll get auto-complete options
from what's available.

If something considers the order of the drives to be different, they'll
count the other way around.
