What is your root= parameter?  If you're using pv-on-hvm drivers, then 
the device will be named /dev/xvd[a-d] (for the moment).  It's very 
strongly recommended that you don't use a device-based root name (ie, 
use LABEL= UUID= or LVM for your root device) so that your config is 
failsafe against root device name changes.
