Xen users - Apr 2010 - Help with domU config file (convert from kvm)

Hi,
currently i am using KVM, but i want to switch (back) to xen. All my VMs
have a own partition inside a lvm. Inside of this partition are 2-3 own
pratition. if i want to access them, i can do this by "kpartx -a
/dev/vg/VM".

Usually my domu configs look like this:
bootloader=''/usr/bin/pygrub''
name="ipfire"
memory=512
acpi=1
apic=1
vif=[''mac=00:16:3e:be:a1:9a,bridge=brI'']
disk=[''phy:/dev/vg/ipfire-2.x,xvda1,w'']
root="xvda3"
extra=''xencons=tty console=hvc0''

but this is not working at all. if i use pygrub, i am getting not the
grub.cfg which is in /boot of the VM and it says that ne data were returned.
if i use a kernel and initrd directly inside the domu config it does not
boot at all.
so, does somebody know, how this is woking? i really want to use my
"old"
VMs instead of installing everything new.

Thx!

Ben

If the disk image is partitioned, you need to have "xvda" here instead
of "xvda1".
