Thanks. I actually was running pygrub, and I _swear_ that the first time I ran it, it said that the initrd was not found. I then copied it to the host, and it ran. This actually brings me to another question/issue:
It really honestly seems to me that sometimes I was getting inconsistent results, at least vis a vis the _current_ state of configuration files. Also, I've had situations where I've been unable to destory machines from the graphical virt-manager, but able to do so with xm. Yesterday, I had a guest that didn't show up on an xm list, but showed up in the virt-manager, constantly toggling between running and stopped.
My questions are:
1) whether either xm or virt-manager do any kind of caching of settings, so that your current configuration might not actually be what is executed?
2) does going through the xen / grub boot process do any kind of changing or writing of settings? Again, I swear there were times where I got different results on the second boot than the first one.
3) finally, what would account for the differences between virt-manager and xm, and also is there any magic way to destroy an un-destroyable machine without having to reboot your computer?
Thanks all--this seems like a very helpful mailing list!

Unfortunately, as it turns out, there are then a bunch of additional Asterisk modules that I would need to build for the xen kernel, and I didn't have any luck finding the source, so I think I might give up on this for a while.
If you are using paravirtualisation then you can use pygrub instead of booting the kernel directly so that the kernel/initrd files etc are in the guest's storage. The virt-manager will configure pygrub by default when installing a client. You could install a temporary guest using virt-manager and see how it does the config of pygrub.
