Take out your initrd line, use sda1 for the root, sdb1 for swap, and
full path to the VBD (i.e. include /dev/) in the disk config line when
you specify the lvm backends.

It looks like your initrd is broken. proc/real_root_fs is not being
carried over by the "root" paramater. 

Make the initrd from within the dom-u, copy it over to dom-0, then try
again.

Or, mount and modify the initrd on dom-0 and fix breakage.

I'm eliminating 4 or 5 things I see going on that have been problematic
for me in the past. 

Below is each edit to make, as shown in your config :

name = "slc4xern" 
hostname="M-Ctb-Generic-5"
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2835.slc4xen"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6.16-xen.img" <<<<<<<<<< nuke this
memory = 512
#vcpus = 2
disk = ['phy:vg1/slc4xernroot,sda1,w','phy:vg1/slc4xernswap,sda2,w' ] 
                                                            ^^^ sdb1
root= "/dev/sda1 ro"
vif = [ '' ]
ip= "128.xxx.xxx.xxx"
gateway="128.xxx.1.1"
#bootloader="/usr/bin/pygrub"
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
on_poweroff = 'destroy'

Let me know if this works. Again, you can re-make the initrd from within
the dom-u itself once you get it booting.

Best,
