I've got some but not all of my guests to boot with pygrub now, and 
for those that don't*, and during the conversion process, I've taken 
to copying the kernel and initrd off the guest onto the Dom0 and 
booting each guest from it's own setup. Ie I don't run any of them 
any more using a generic kernel/initrd from Dom0. Once you have the 
guest running, you can make it's own initrd (this is where I think 
you'll find the differences) and then copy the kernel and initrd to 
Dom0 (if you aren't sticking with pygrub/it doesn't work for some 
reason).

* For some reason, I've had problems booting some guests, and 
occasions when a guest that was booting with pygrub stops doing so 
after some minor change.
