Pkg xen devel - Apr 2007 - Bug#417243: xen-utils-common: Should display a usable error message when there is a config file error

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 3.0.3-0-2
Severity: normal

When a block device name is wrong (the device does not exist) it should say
"block device /dev/foo/bar does not exist" instead of waiting for ages
and
giving the following error:
Using config file "/etc/xen/ha2".
Error: Device 768 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

Also the following parsing error is inadequate, it should at least give the
user a clue as to where the error lies.  What does "22" mean, is it a
config
file line number?  It doesn't even say that the error is in /etc/xen/foo.

Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
