Thanks all for the advice.
It seems there is an issue with Dracut booting from these hosts when LVM is used.

Switching my kickstart to use real partitions rather than LVM solved the issue. Not sure if that's enough detail to figure out what's wrong / missing from the kernel / initrd.
Sorry, it's still not clear from the previous conversation -- in addition to updating to Centos 6.6, have you also switched to the official Xen4CentOS repos (i.e., by installing centos-release-xen)?
LVM not working is something we can look at .. I will try to find a drive to use to test this.
