Yes, the pathes are right. I nearly get sick. I've checked it several

times and again and again :
Error: Device 771 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not
found.
maybe too many loop mounts? Try to create a few new loop devices.

Or, if this is the problem, you could switch to using tap:aio: instead of file:, since that avoids needing the loop devices altogether.

e.g.

disk = ['tap:aio:/vd/etch03.vd,hda3,w','tap:aio:/vd/etch03.sd,hda2,w']

Cheers,
Mark


That was it, too many loop mounts and and an error in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. The error in xend-config.sxp was there only because some debian scripts configured it new what I did'nt reconised ... :-((

Many thanks for your hints.

Frank
