Hi, i am running xen3.0.3 on opensuse10.2 and just switched to tap:aio for all the para domU which works perfect. Trying to change the hvm winxp domU from file to tap:aio does not work, the winxp domU starts up, but then dies a few seconds later. I have googled for information about hvm and tap:aio, but did not find anything useful. Any hints ? Thanks Frank That''s the entry from the cfg file: disk = [ ''tap:aio:/var/lib/xen/images/winxp/hda,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/data1/xen/images/winxp/hdb,ioemu:hdb,w'',''phy:/dev/hdb,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] #disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/winxp/hda,ioemu:hda,w'', ''file:/data1/xen/images/winxp/hdb,ioemu:hdb,w'',''phy:/dev/hdb,hdc:cdrom,r'' ] and the output from xend.log: Waiting for devices vif.
