b98 Xend start issue

Hi All,
I am having issues starting xend on OpenSolaris b98.
I am getting the following error (from /var/svc/log/system-xvm- 
xend:default.log):
[ Oct  4 10:41:36 Executing start method ("/lib/svc/method/xend  
start"). ]
ERROR Internal error: Could not obtain handle on privileged command  
interface (2 = No such file or directory)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/xend", line 43, in ?

SrvDaemon.py", line 26, in ?

relocate.py", line 27, in ?

[ Oct  4 10:41:36 Method "start" exited with status 1. ]

Below is more information on the installation and system.
Does anyone have any idea about this? I would guess it is the same  
kind of error I would get trying this if the system was not booting  
the i86xpv kernel.
Thanks,
 From Kim

Re: b98 Xend start issue

You did not post your machine definition, but this sounds like what I saw after
upgrading to 98. In my case, the problem was a cdrom definition without a
pointer to the actual cdrom device.

Re: b98 Xend start issue

Hi,
Machine definition? Where do I look for this (what command do I run)?
It was a clean install. However it was with the following iso:

Thanks,
