This keeps getting funnier.

Upgraded to today's xen-unstable and kernel 2.6.16.13. With the  
default xen0 config, the boot got as far as starting SSHD, then  
froze. With my custom config the system booted with no apparent  
problems... but now I can't start any domains - they all result in  
the No space left on device while writing /vm/... message.
Tried xenstore-control check. Removed /var/lib/xenstored/tdb. Nothing.

Any guesses?
