Ok, lets simplify things. Try this:
name            = "vm605"
memory          = 1024
vcpus           = 1
disk            = [ 'phy:/dev/vps/vm605_img,xvda1,w', 
phy:/dev/vps/vm605_swap,xvda2,w' ]
vif             = [ "mac=00:16:3e:ac:0b:e6, bridge=XXXX, vifname=vm605" ]
on_poweroff     = 'destroy'
on_reboot       = 'restart'
on_crash        = 'restart'
kernel		= "/boot/solus-vmlinuz"
ramdisk		= "/boot/solus-initrd.img"
root		= "/dev/xvda1 ro"

Change the bridge=XXXX to the correct bridge adapter.

Also, is there a reason you can't use pygrub here? Does the Guest OS not
have grub installed? Personally, I don't supply ANY kernel / ramdisk / root
lines as these are better off handled in the DomU.
