I found the problem. It is with the initrd. It contains the 'init' program which seems to be trying to use LVM to do everything because host is configured on LVM, and since the guest doesn't have lvm configured it fails. So from where do I get a simple initrd image, that will not attempt to do acrobatics with the lvm?
