xen discuss - Nov 2006 - xenU crashes on linux

any idea what the reason for this error is?

[2006-11-07 13:59:31 xend 3167] DEBUG (__init__:1072) exception looking 
up device number for 0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
''/dev/0''

my config file looks like this:

name = "solaris"
memory = "400"
kernel = "/solaris/platform/i86xen/kernel/amd64/unix"
extra = "/platform/i86xen/kernel/amd64/unix"
ramdisk = "/solaris/platform/i86pc/boot_archive"
on_shutdown = "destroy"
on_reboot = "restart"
on_crash = "destroy"
root = "/dev/dsk/c0d0s0"
disk = [''file:/solaris/root.file,0,w'']
vif = [''ip=10.12.1.90'']

You should give double slash after file:... like:

disk = [ ''file://solaris/root.file,0,2'' ]

I think i had this problem too in a linux-dom0 and
solaris-domU setup. 

The solution was instead of using an file backend for the
disk, to create a loop device for the image and use the loop
device as a phy:// backend.

$ losetup /dev/loop/0 root.file

disk = [''phy:/dev/loop/0,0,w'']
