I commented the 'disk' entry, and set the 'root' entry to: root="/dev/mapper/volgrpguest-logvol1 ro" Now, I get the error 'Unable to find volume group logvol1'. why does xen think that the volume group is logvol1 (which is actually the logical volume inside the volume group volgrpguest)? Appreciate any suggestions. - Rajarshi

Your disk and root lines are bad, to start with.
