You are, well, screwed. lilo won't boot the xen images, I'm afraid,
although grub will. Unhappily, grub doesn't understand lvm, so it won't
be able to find your root partition. You don't happen to have a spare
partition to put /boot on, do you? You may be able to salvage this with
grub2, but the versions I've played with so far have not been awe
inspiring.
