XenVG/qanew doesn't contain a filesystem.  it contains a partition,
which contains a filesystem.

if you're using PV DomU's, simply change to

disk = [ 'phy:XenVG/qanew,xvda1,w', 'phy:XenVG/qanew_swap,xvdb,w' ]

so you have a 'partition' without partition table.

if you're using HVM DomU's, you have to keep the partition table, so
you have to 'skip' it when reading the filesystem from Dom0.... don't
remember right now how to do it, somebody else might help you there.
