Is this from within the guest? Looks like a set of dom0 modules and not
something I'd expect to be present in the initramfs.

If you unpack your initrd you should be able to see which modules it
includes and see if xen-blkfront is there or not. Given that you seem to
be using your dom0 initrd it is possible that it won't be. If it isn't
there then try adding it to the relevant file under /etc/initramfs-tools
(see initramfs.conf(5)) and rebuilding your initrd?

You should use xvda everywhere.
