Why are you keep doing it the hard way, doing one thing when suggested
to to the other? The link I sent was for a HVM domU. Because
converting from QEMU to HVM is easier. It can provide you with basic
check as to whether you have a working or essentially broken system,
as the conversion process should be straight-forward without any
modification needed to the vm.

My HVM domU config mentions nothing about bootlader or xvda. Yet you
specifically change it to be PV domU config, with

bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygryb"

and adding things like

root        = '/dev/hda ro'

which was never in any of the example I sent you.

Again, there's nothing wrong with doing things your own way, changing
things the way you see fit, if you know what you're doing. It might
even save you lots of time. IF it works, that is.

There's a consequence to that, though. Don't expect much help if you
run into problems. Cause you're differing form known-to-work setups.
Cause you're basically ignoring those who've spend time to help you.
Cause you basically guarantee that it's NOT going to work, by putting
things like misspelled program names on bootloader line
