If you want to use LVM make sure the kernel supports it, very easy to
miss that setting. Also it appears you need to have scsi support in your
domU as well, and whatever filesystem /dev/sdd3 make sure that domU has
support for that as well. Make sure your domU's fstab jive's with the
config. You can try ##xen on irc and put some stuff up at pastebin to
get help as well.
For kicks what happens if you use a loop image instead of a partition?
