Perhaps you could use this:

bootloader = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"

I think that OpenNebula recognizes two cases: HVM and para-virtualized. 
"kernel" and "initrd" are for para-virtualized case, while "bootloader" 
is for HVM case.

This might be mandatory.

And this.

Shouldn't this go into normal network section? I believe ONE will 
process it correctly.

NIC = [
     bridge = "eth0"
]

I have had problems with launching HVM machines, but I must admit those 
were VMWare images, converted to RAW. God only knows what went wrong 
with them. We switched to some pre-built para-virtualized images we 
found on the Net, since we were pressed for time.

One thing I have noticed on Debian Xen master is that HVM Loader had 
incorrect permissions. They were 644 and should be 755. That blocked me 
for a while. After that the VM would boot, but remain stuck. Like I 
said, God only knows what went wrong. I never returned to that 
particular type of VM.

Nix.
