I'm afraid I haven't read your failure report in detail, but
please can you try:
domain new
physical grant -phdb7 -w #swap
physical grant -phdb8 -w #root
domain start
Doh! Thanks, Ian. I knew about the -w. Must've been a long day. That allowed it to
move into the "Init" stage of the boot process.
All of this is rather clearer with the new tools in the unstable
tree. Expect a 1.2 release fairly soon...
I'm not that uncomfortable with the command line tools, but, aaargh, I don't
know python yet. :(
OK, here's the new status. The guest no longer dies a mysterious death but
does crash about the time it tries to set the hardware clock. Following is a
partial output from the guest.

And that's where it goes quiet.
Since there won't be any consoles on a guest I'm guessing that the rc.sysinit
complaints don't matter although I don't know how to shut them up.
So it looks like setting the clock is the problem. Any pointers or ideas,
anyone?
Thanks,
