Another problem is that the blktapctrl daemon itself does not even start if the "xenblktap" kernel module is not loaded. (blktapctrl is started automatically by xend.) So to use tap:aio with Xen from Debian lenny you need to - create a symlink named "tapdisk" pointing to /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/tapdisk somewhere in root's $PATH and - load the "xenblktap"...

...try it in a Linux PV domain, it says: XENBUS: Waiting for devices to initialise: 295s... And they don''t work in my GPLPV drivers, which is the problem I am trying to solve, but I''d like to see them work under Linux first. Is there anything extra I need to do? I have loaded the xenblktap module (forgot to do this initially...)
