lvmdriver has to do with storage, so you might start looking there. ESX &
ESXi are limited in what types of storage they support, so if you''re
using only IDE disks (the default in Xen), ESX may not see those disks
correctly. Since you''re running a newish version of Xen, you can try
using Xen''s vscsi support and see if ESXi can see the disks that way.
