Hello,

Here again with a similar problem, when the xen_gntdev module is loaded:
Parsing config file /mnt/dati/xen/vmstore/gentoo-10.0/gentoo-10.0.x86-64.cfg
xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:476:libxl__wait_for_device_model Device
Model not ready
xl: fatal error: libxl_create.c:535, rc=-1: libxl__confirm_device_model_startup

I don't know what happened but I've got that error starting the two linux domU
guest I have on my disk.

What has happened?
