So the grub part works - as you have clearly booted the guest.
Did you identify whether the storage driver (xen-blkfront) is loaded by the
time you get the problem?
Do you see or can check whether /dev/mapper/fedora-root is present? If you
mount it can you see the /live-hd file?
Is the /live-hd on /dev/mapper/fedora-root or is it somewhere else?
