Make sure when you try to start it that your LV are not already mounted as you seem to say in your notes.
Xen by default cannot export mounted device as far as I know.

Thankyou for point it out Tim but I made that change earlier, upon the advice of Zhang, but it still did't work.

Don't be frightened with the word **Nuclear** in CERN's name!

    You may want to re-examine this line of your configuration :

    > disk =
    > ['phy:vg1/domSLC4OldRoot,sda,w','phy:vg1/domSLC4OldSwap,sda,w' ]

    You can't swap to the root file system, nor can one vbd magically
    become
    two.

    Make the root fs sda1, swap sdb1, or something similar.
