Xen users - Feb 2008 - Domain stays in status "---s--" forever after shutdown, console is locked

Hi

I use Xen 3.2 on debian etch, build from source. domU is also debian etch.

I can create the domain just fine, but when I shut it down, it stays in 
status "---s--" forever until I use "xm destroy".

At first, I put domU on a DRBD disk with the block-drbd script, but I 
also tried with a file-backed domU, which results in the same problem.

The logs do not show any errors. Or at least I cannot see anything that 
looks like an error.

Here''s what I see if I shutdown the domain from a console:

debian dktestvmxen:~# halt
Broadcast message from root@dktestvmxen (tty1) (Mon Feb 11 08:32:34 2008):
The system is going down for system halt NOW!
INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
Stopping periodic command scheduler: crond.
Stopping internet superserver: inetd.
Stopping OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
Stopping kernel log daemon: klogd.
Stopping system log daemon: syslogd.
Asking all remaining processes to terminate...done.

Cleaning up ifupdown....
Deactivating swap...done.
Will now halt.
md: stopping all md devices.
xenbus_dev_shutdown: device/console/0: Initialising != Connected, skipping
System halted.

At this point, the console is locked. If I quit the console with CTRL+5 
and use "xm list", I see

# xm list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State 
Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0   256     1     r-----

    4.8

Here''s my domU config file:

kernel=''/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen''
ramdisk=''/boot/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img''
disk = [ ''file:/dktestvmxen.img,hda1,w'' ]
memory = 256
maxmem = 512
builder = ''linux''
name = ''dktestvmxen''
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:13:71:7b,bridge=eth1'' ]
localtime = 0
on_poweroff = ''destroy''
on_reboot = ''restart''
on_crash = ''restart''
root = ''/dev/hda1''
extra=''TERM=xterm xencons=tty console=tty1''

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Dominik

I usually do a shutdown from within a desktop, which does the right thing. If 
you think about it, telling it to ''halt'' is telling it to just
sit there & do
nothing, not exit. I don''t know if xen converts a
''halt'' to an ''on_poweroff''
action. Does ''shutdown -hP now'' work for you?

No, it does the exact same thing.

By the way: xm shutdown gives the same result.
