Using LABEL=blah requires a) you to set the label on the disk file you 
created b) you to boot with a suitable initrd (e.g. one that came with your 
distro) to perform the lookup of filesystem labels.
You will find it easier to get stuff working if you just specify 
/dev/whatever explicitly in the config file and edit the guest fstab to 
match.

If they're not doing work on the CPU at this instant then they're probably 
blocked - unless they're doing something CPU intensive they'll be in that 
state a lot.
If you've only got one CPU then you'll never see another domain in the 
running state - the fact that dom0 is running at this instant implies that 
the other domains aren't :-)
