Pkg xen devel - Jul 2012 - Bug#682979: xcp-xapi: VM not starting, tasks not cancellable

Package: xcp-xapi
Version: 1.3.2-9
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I've following mostly the xcp-xapi/README.Debian instructions after
installing it with apt-get -t wheezy

network.conf is configured for bridge, xenbrN are functioning and shown with xe
network-list
A single SR is present, created with ext on a local LVM. For debugging purposes,
all ISO and local ISO SRs have been removed.
A VM is created according to README.Debian. Everything looks fine when examined
with XenManager6 or OpenXenCenter.

When starting the VM with xe vm-start uuid=<uuid>, xe will not finish.

xe task-list shows two tasks: VM.start with 0.300 progress, and VBD.unplug
(0.000 progress) as a subtask of VM.start, created 16-17 seconds after VM.Start.
Both tasks are in the state pending, and can not be cancelled with xe
task-cancel force=true.
list_domains shows that the domain has been created. After xe-toolstack-restart
two independent pending tasks are present: VBD.unplug and VBD.plug, both resist
cancelling as well. To get those tasks wiped out, I need to reboot.
