In your 5.4 dom0, do
#cat /proc/filesystems | grep -i ext
odds are ext4 is absent. Even if you have a custom kernel which supports ext4, there is still the question of pygrub ext4 support.
Before posting I checked the gitco xen 3.4.2 libs
pygrub ext4 support is provided by
/usr/lib64/libfsimage.so.1.0.0
------------ snip ----------
# rpm -ql xen-libs | grep -i libfsimage
/usr/lib64/libfsimage.so.1.0
/usr/lib64/libfsimage.so.1.0.0
---------------- cut ---------
The only rough way to tell if there is ext4 support in this lib is by size. In 3.4.2 the size is
# ls -al /usr/lib64/libfsimage.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12448 Nov 11 2009 /usr/lib64/libfsimage.so.1.0.0
suse 11.3 xen 4.0 does have ext4 support in pygrub there the size is 14k+
I have pointed 3.4.2 pygrub at an ext4 /boot and it fails.
