Do not or use any existing designations or reuse any for domU's.
In your case I am assuming you have a /dev/hda.

edit the domU fstab to /dev/sda1 for / and dev/sda2 for swap and the
domu config accordingly.

Do not use sda1 or sda2 for any additional domU's.

I will open up a bug on this shortly, this was bugging me for a while,
but with this workaround my domu's now come up 100% of the time every
time.
