James,

Perhaps I misunderstood your problem. the problem I had was to boot my
PV    machine from a rescue cd, which can only be done in a 'hvm' config
(as I understand)

The problem for me was to  convert the PV config to a 'hvm' type,
particularly the disk layout. I thought my config could help you along.
