Hi Fajar,
Yeah, it works fine if I do the partitions for the domU
as standard non LVM partitions. Looks like the issue lies with Debian and LVM.
I did try the update-initramfs with no luck.

Alan

From xen perspective you can always use LVM on dom0, and
assign an LV
on dom0 for each domU's partition. I usually give one for
"/", one for
swap, one for data (if needed).

This is a debian issue then. You should ask debian
experts out there :)
My guess is that somehow your debian installation does
not include LVM
features on initrd. In ubuntu this is automatic, but
maybe there's a
config option somewhere that needs to be changed. Again,
debian
specific. Perhaps if you run update-initramfs while having
debian
booted it will correctly modifiy the initrd.
