Try creating a guest01.cfg in /etc/xen to boot it.

They are not too hard to create.
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64'
memory      = '2048'
root        = '/dev/xvda2 ro'
disk        = [
 
'tap:aio:/home/xen/domains/guest01/guest01-swap.img,xvda1,w',
                   'tap:aio:/home/xen/domains/guest01/guest01-disk,xvda2,w',
               ]
name        = 'guest01'
vif         = [ 'ip=172.16.0.53,mac=00:16:3E:66:94:51' ]

on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'


something similar to that should work.

You might need to loopmount your disk.img and fix the fstab or change 
the config so its pointing at the right devices. (xvdaX or sdaX)
