   It's Ubuntu 10.04 Server. All kernels .10, .12, .13, .14, .15 until commits on 06/07/2010 worked fine.
  My guess would be:  the issue is in the kernel 2.6.32.15 .
Ubuntu 10.04 udev setup was OK until 06/07/2010 with all kernels 2.6.32.X ( X>=10)
and is still OK when X=10. Two similar instances on top of Ubuntu 10.04 Server
show up same behavior with 2.6.32.10 - OK , with 2.6.32.15  failure to create
/dev/xen/evtchn

Boris.

What distro?  Perhaps there's something wrong with the udev setup?
