Hi, I''m experiencing vbd device failures; it appears as if the device nodes are being allocated but not de-allocated. Initially the devices were marked as /dev/hda[1,2]; and when they failed to work I changed them to be /dev/sda[1,2]. However I now find that I can no longer boot this domU irrespective of how I specify the disks. As you can see at the end, the images themselves exist I am running xen-3.0.0 built from source; any insight or suggestions appreciated. varuna:~# grep "^disk" /etc/xen/fai-machine disk = [''file:/vserver/images/fai.img,hda1,w'',''file:/vserver/images/fai-swap.img,hda2,w''] varuna:~# xm create -c fai-machine Using config file "/etc/xen/fai-machine".
