That thread is somewhat hard to follow, but the suggestions seem good.

The basic idea is that you have a guest on a different partition and you
are trying to boot it?

The guest was/is a normal linux install?


Are you just missing a forward slash in the fstab below?
(/dev/sda10)? or is that just a typo?

Do make sure that everything is in the right spot...

chroot in the the partition for example.

Is it bootable as a normal linux system with grub
(not as a xen guest, just to test)?

don't put the rw in the root line.
root="/dev/sda10"

and



Try it instead in the extra
extra="ro 4"


Hope that helps.
