I was using this process a few months back. Most likely what's happening
is that it's missing the disk controller modules in the in initrd so
it's not able to find your logical volumes. You'll will need to update
your /etc/modprobe.conf to use the paravirt modules (xennet/xenblk)
then rebuild the initrd. Should boot at that point.

virt-p2v was able to convert my centOS 5.2 physical machine to xen
virtual machine and it runs great. Now, I am working on to convert
this full virt machine to para virt .
Under my domU i have installed kernel-xen (since it is needed ) , and
edited my grub menu to use the installed kernel.
My grub menu file in domU looks like:
----
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5xen.img
----
Here is my config file that I have used (for para):
-----
name = "localhost_localdomain"
uuid = "a57400f11c2138ec41087b80e813496e"
maxmem = 512
memory = 512
vcpus = 1
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
disk = [
"file:/freespace/p2v-localhost_localdomain-200811061823-hda.img,hda,w" ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:e6:3b:e2" ]
on_poweroff = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "restart"
#keymap = "en-us"
#serial = "pty"
extra = "xencons=tty"
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
vfb = [ ]
vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:17:03:9f,bridge=xenbr0" ]

The error I am getting is:
--

Any help will be appreciated.
