I don't understand this boot error from the domU:
Begin: Assembling MD array /dev/md1 ...
md: md1 stopped.
mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md1
Failure: failed to start /dev/md1
     
 
Why does your domU try to assemble a software RAID at all if..
   
disk    = [ 'file:/vd/domains/xen-etch/disk.img,sda1,w', 
file:/vd/domains/xen-etch/swap.img,sda2,w' ]
    
 
..it only has one block device?
Is this a showstopper for you or does it carry on to boot normally?
Do you have an /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf in the domU?
Does your domU have mdadm set to run and assemble arrays?
Cheers,
Andy
   
 Is there *ANY* reason to do software RAID, LVM, or other filesystem 
cuteness in a DomU? Except maybe for configuration testing purposes? Let 
the Dom0 do the work, I'm quite certain it will be more efficient about it.
