Run the command

xe vm-param-get uuid=dd29fd58-9ed2-0d53-5a71-dea5bf0d613b
param-name=PV-bootloader

I'm guessing that this will give you 'pygrub', which will try to boot
from the first virtual disk on the VM, which is usually /dev/xvda. This
usually happens if you abort a guest install, say, if you forgot to give
the VM a VIF, and had to shutdown the VM and restart the install.

You can fix this by doing

xe vm-param-set uuid=dd29fd58-9ed2-0d53-5a71-dea5bf0d613b
PV-bootloader=eliloader

and starting the VM again. Hope this helps!
