Xen devel - May 2010 - blktap2 and pygrub: error

Hi.

I tried ti use VHD-disk-image for my Opensolaris DomU.
Installation on this disk is fine, but i cannot to boot from it.

in logs "Disk isn''t accessible";

I mount image and tried to use pygrub directly:

pygrub /dev/xvdp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 705, in <module>
    fs = fsimage.open(file, get_fs_offset(file))
IOError: [Errno 95] Operation not supported


but i can ''dd'' from it device-file.

I researched this issue:

error returned from:
*** xen-src-root/tools/pygrub/src/fsimage/fsimage.c ***

static PyObject *

        char *options = NULL;

        return (PyObject *)fs;
}

        fsi->f_fd = fd;
        fsi->f_off = off;
        fsi->f_data = NULL;
        fsi->f_bootstring = NULL;

        pthread_mutex_lock(&fsi_lock);
        err = find_plugin(fsi, path, options);
        pthread_mutex_unlock(&fsi_lock);
        if (err != 0)
                goto fail;

        return (fsi);

fail:
        err = errno;
        if (fd != -1)
                (void) close(fd);
        free(fsi);
        errno = err;
        return (NULL);
}

If i use ''file:/'' type of disk-image (i have other disk-image)
then all ok.
