Looks like you're mapping the LV as xvda1. Don't do that if you're
using OS installer. Map it as xvda instead.

You should only map block devices as (xv/s/h)da1 if you're using tools
like debootstrap/yum or doing manual copy from an existing system.

Also if you want to use ext4 as "/", don't forget to have a separate
/boot with ext3 since like Mark said, by default Centos' pygrub
doesn't support ext4.
