As I can see, indeed it's the same config.
Well, I still recommend to configure it so xend does not attempt to 
respawn crashed DomU. That is clearly not the main problem you are 
facing, but would be a much cleaner way to do things.

This must be something internal to DomU. Probably a wrong kernel or 
missconfiguration. Your config file has much less options than a regular 
one (mine are created by custom template for xen-tools), but I can't 
tell about which is the critical one.
http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/
The same mirror where you got your vmlinuz and initrd.gz, has a file 
xm-debian.cfg. It has a brief instruction in the header. Never used it 
that way, but looks promising. Maybe you should try to stick to those 
instructions. My python is poor, but it does not look like running the 
debian-installer within the DomU.
Another good thing to look at:
run "xl create ..." without -f option. Does it complain, about what?
Try -v option for "xl", it might give some useful output also.

If you insist in using the regular debian-installer (can't think of a 
good reason, but hopefully you have one) and don't get xm-debian.cfg to 
work, I may suggest deploying a HVM DomU (it even can boot from PXE) and 
then convert it to PV. Although, I think using xen-tools is a much easer 
and faster way.
Greetings.
