How to boot to Xen

I'm trying to get Xen to boot but it's giving me some minor trouble. I've tried searching everywhere for how to configure the xen.cfg file so this will work but no one has seemed to have asked it.

My only issue is trying to get Xen to see the root partition. I have my root on a LVM and for some reason it doesn't like it.

Part of my Xen.cfg:

root="/dev/mapper/ManjaroVG-ManjaroRoot rw nomodeset splash quiet"

I have tried it without the quotes and I've tried putting the physical partition it's on. The farthest I've gotten is putting /dev/sda3 which makes it look like it's going to boot up like normal however it complains
that it can't tell what filesystem type the partition is.

When I try to use the above method that is in my Xen.cfg it says that it cannot find "root = '' "

I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there some special way I have to configure this if the root is on an LVM?

You'll have to ask on the Manjaro boards, we only support Arch here:
