All you need to use is the phy label (or whatever you call it) as Fajar mentioned, eg from a working one on my system;
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/xen_store/test-disk,hda:ioemu,w' ]

Yes, I've used LV on dom0 as storage for domU's filesystem.
I got a domU running.
At this point I think the problem must be something in the configuration file like "file:/ or tap:/aio with phy:/" as you said.
Thank you very much.

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to use Xen by installing the virtual machine on logical volumes.
I'm using Scientific Linux 5 as host.
Running the configuration file though gives me an error: no Kernel found. Is
there anybody who's had a similar experience?
   

I'm assuming you mean using LV on dom0 as storage for domU's filesystem, right?
The biggest difference between file and LVM-backed domUs is changing
file:/ or tap:/aio with phy:/. Other then that, it should be the same.
What is your domU config like?

If you haven't been able to get any domU running, it might be easier
to use virt-install or virt-manager.
