The image you have is a disk image with partitions. From what I see it  
already has defined 2 partitions, the first one is a linux partition  
and the second one LVM. Here is an excerpt of of partition types got  
with "sfdisk -T":

82  Linux swap / Solaris
83  Linux
8e  Linux LVM

To use that kind of disk images you have to specify the disk as sda  
(or hda) as it is a whole disk. The OS will create the sda1 and sda2  
devices accordingly. Also change the swap image to sdb or any other  
device to not clash with the already existing lvm partition in sda2.

I hope it helps.

Bye
