[Xen-users] domU cannot see VBD devices

[Adrian Bridgett <adrian.bridgett@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm unable to get any domU to see VBD devices exported from domain0.  
The machine in question uses an aic7xxx SCSI card which oopses in the 
SCSI domain validation code (nothing to do with Xen) code running 
2.6.12.  Therefore my domain0 kernel I compiled up from the 2.6.14 merge 
mercurial repository.
The domainU kernel is from the latest xen-unstable_x86_32 snapshot 
(since menuconfig seems to only let you set domain0 or domainU, but not 
both).   This boots okay, but cannot see the VBD device (I've tried 
exporting /dev/rootvg/xmdeb as both hda and sda - is there a 
recommendation?)
I've attached the output of diagnose.py and various logs from 
xend/xenstore (including tracing turned on).  Diagnostics says "Backend 
is in state Initialising".
I suspect that it's something in the udev setup that's not quite working 
correctly.  Base install is Debian sarge (I manually copied the 
rules.d/* files over since it had set itself up for hotplug).
File based VBD with ttylinux doesn't work either (same issue).

I may well be missing something blindingly obvious - I've only used the 
excellent demo CD before :-)
Many thanks,

Adrian
