Xen users - Dec 2011 - Error: Boot loader didn't return any data! (ubuntu 8.2 hardy release)

I am trying to install PV guest *debian.6-0.gnome.x86.20111008* using *
pygrub* and getting the *Error: Boot loader didn''t return any data!*
*
*
I am running *ubuntu 8.2 hardy release* Kernel 2.6.24-30-xen and using xen (
*xen-3.2.1-rc1-pre).*

When I run # xm create -c debian.6-0.gnome.x86.20111008.pygrub.cfg
The  /var/log/xen/xend.log showed the following error:

--------------

I have also run
# pygrub debian.6-0.gnome.x86.20111008.img
and got the following error:

    raise RuntimeError, "couldn''t find bootloader config file in

This is what I use (pv-grub instead of pygrub):

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/pv-grub-x86_64.gz"
extra = "(hd0,0)/grub/menu.lst"
