For future readers/googlers:

If you want to use your own compiled kernel (eg because like me, you try 
and stick to the same kernel across all your domU's), this is the 
minimum requirements I've found for Lucid to start correctly:

1. Lucid requires the "devtmpfs" feature that is introduced in kernel 
2.6.32 , earlier kernels will not work.

2. This feature is disabled by default. Make sure your kernel config 
contains
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y

3. You need to arrange for devtmpfs to be mounted. The stock ubuntu 
kernel enables automount in the kernel config:
CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=Y

Or you can add to /etc/fstab:
dev             /dev            devtmpfs rw              0       0
