[CentOS-virt] Migrating from KVM to XEN - kernel panic

ugh.... after doing inglorious battle, I return.  It's definitely situation
(1).  The error messages haven't changed.  Inside the init file, should the
paths references be from the point of view of Dom0?

lvm vgchange -ay --ignorelockingfailure  vg00
resume /dev/vg00/swap00
echo Creating root device.
mkrootdev -t ext3 -o defaults,ro /dev/mapper/vg00-root
echo Mounting root filesystem.
mount /sysroot
echo Setting up other filesystems.
setuproot
echo Switching to new root and running init.
switchroot

Also, should the xen host config file (/etc/xen/guest02) root parameter
point to the dom0 root or the block device for the domU?

root = "/dev/mapper/virt01vg00-c5root00 ro"  ##dom0's root file system

Thanks very much,
Christopher Hunt
