Hi Thomas,
This problem is entirely different. The problem is visible earlier in your
console output: the Xen block-device driver is unable to acquire the
device-number space for SCSI devices (sda, sdb, etc). Hence it is failing to
initialise the vbd connections to the backend and is ending up in state 6
(which is XenbusStateClosed).
The solutions you have are:
1. Do not build the generic SCSI subsystem into your dom0 kernels. It is
this subsystem which (quite reasonably) is allocating the sd* number space
to the exclusion of the Xen block-device driver.
2. Call your devices hd* instead of sd* (i.e., hijack the IDE device
numbers instead of the SCSI ones), or even use the xvd* number space, which
is exclusively reserved for Xen VBDs.
Hope this helps,
Keir
