Here is what the original pygrub.cfg looks like for this domU image:
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
memory = 256
name = "ubuntu.9-10.x86"
vif = [ '' ]
disk = ['file:/var/stacklet/ubuntu.9-10.x86.img,sda1,w']
extra = "fastboot"
I tried setting the target in the xml to "sda1" but it doesn't like
that and only accepts "sda".

And I tried moving all this from Ubuntu 9.10 box over to F11 box
w/xenner and there libvirt generates a bad xenner command line. Here is
the F11 domain log:

-nostderr send messages to logfile only
-dumpcore don't catch fatal signals (sigsegv, sigbus)
-libvirt-caps print libvirt capability xml snippet
pick device model:
-qemu-path <file> path to qemu binary
-qemu-dm qemu is xensource qemu-dm
-qemu-upstream qemu is upstream+patches
=> http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/patches/
Some more qemu-ish options are accepted but ignored,
so we don't error out when started by libvirt.
When started without kernel specified xenner tries to
get one using the bootloader (pygrub by default).
