Xen users - Mar 2007 - why my virtual server doesn''t boot when I reboot Dom0?

Hi

I ''ve been installed xen-3.0.4_1 on scientific linux. Its works:

-----------------
[root@charon ~]# xm list

I ''ve build one virtual server.

[root@charon ~]#

[root@charon ~]# xm list

[root@charon ~]#
-----------------


I can log to the console. I can log with ssh.

But when I reboot the system, Domain-0 works, but not the virtual 
server. I need to recreate the virtual server?

I ''ve created a xmdefconfig:

--------------------
def vmid_check(var, val):
       val = int(val)
       if val <= 0:
               raise ValueError
       return val

# Check othe defined variables have valid values..
xm_vars.var(''vmid'',
       use="Virtual machine id. Integer greater than 0.",
        check=vmid_check)
#Check the defined variables have valid values.. xm_vars.check()
xm_vars.check()

# General settings

if vmid == 1:
       name = "alkaid"
       # Kernel to use
       kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen"
       # Memory in megabytes
       memory = 512
       # Root device
       root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
       # Don''t forget to specify your bridge correctly here
       #vif = [ ''mac=FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, bridge=br-xen'' ]
       #vif = [ '''' ]
       vif  = [ ''ip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'' ]
       # Disk
       disk = [ ''phy:vg_md1/lv1_md1 ,sda1,w'' ]
       on_poweroff = ''destroy''
       on_reboot   = ''restart''
       on_crash    = ''restart''

--------------------

I put the file xmdeconfig in the auto directory:

-------
[root@charon xen]# ln -s xmdefconfig /etc/xen/auto/
------



I don''t understand why my virtual server doesn''t boot when I
reboot Dom0?

Thanks for your help
