Hi Daniel,
I had that problem.
Installing udev (and reinstalling xen) fixed it.
Cheers.
Chris.

I am running Xen 3.0.1 with Gentoo for Dom0 and when I create a DomU
with Debian, the kernel or system does not seem to recognize the volume
I have created for swap on the DomU and will not mount it during boot or
after.
here is the disk section of the xen config for the DomU:
disk = [ 'phy:xen-disks/disk-root,hda1,w','phy:xen-disks/disk-swap,hda2,w' ]
When the DomU is created, the volume is recognized and assigned to
/dev/hda2. From the xend.log:
['root', '/dev/hda1 ro'], ['args', '3']]], ['device', ['vbd',
['uname', 'phy:xen-disks/disk-root'], ['dev', 'hda1'], ['mode', 'w']]],
['device', ['vbd', ['uname', 'phy:xen-disks/disk-swap'], ['dev',
'hda2'], ['mode', 'w']]], ['device', ['vif']]])
However, during the boot up sequence, the following error messages occur
on the console:
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed
INIT: version 2.86 booting
Will now activate swap.

* Mounting local filesystems failed with error code 96.

Done activating swapfile swap.
I do not have this problem when creating DomUs with Gentoo or Fedora
Core. Could the problem reside with the Debian hotplug subsystem? I
have reviewed the Xen 3.0/Debian howto at
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_xen3_debian but I cannot find
anything in the howto mentioning this problem.
Any ideas on what might be causing the problem, or suggestions on where
to look for the cause of the problem. Nothing is standing out in
xend.log, and no output into the xend-debug.log
Thank you for any help or suggestions you might offer.
