Hi Mike, 
 
>I've just gone through stubdom initiation myself. Most of my problems
were caused by not following stubdom/README (from the Xen source tree)
to the letter, and trying to mix and match stub domains and PV on HVM.
I am using phy devices (logical volumes) for storage.
  I gave up on loop devices as well. I realized that creating logical volumes with lvm2 was just as easy to manage. Just to clarify you used the disk option like:
  phy:/full/path/to/dev,DEV,MODE ?
  Perhaps you could post a working DomU config???
  
 
>You don't say whether you've started fs-backend per the README. That
would certainly cause problems trying to create a domain.
  Indeed. I created a script to start my domU:
  #!/bin/sh
  mkdir -p /exports/usr/share/xen/qemu ln -s /usr/share/xen/qemu/keymaps /exports/usr/share/xen/qemu mkdir -p /exports/var/lib ln -s /var/lib/xen /exports/var/lib /usr/sbin/fs-backend & xm create (name on domU config)
  
 
>I had to build the 2.6.18.8 xen.org dom0 kernel as the RHEL 5 dom0
kernel I normally use doesn't have gntdev, which is necessary for stub
domains to work. 
 This I did not know. May I ask where you acquired this knowledge?
  Thanks

  Hi
there, 
   
Last night I was trying to start a HVM domU via stubdom-dm device
model. Initially I did not receive any error to stdout when I did so
with Xen-3.4.2. 
   
My Xen-3.4.2 installation works fine with qemu-dm (or regular HVM
guests). The stubdom-dm guest I was trying to create did not really
operate as I was unable to connect to the VNC console. The output of xm
list showed the DomU was there, but it did not show it was actively
running, almost like it was pause at 0:00:00. 
   
This morning I installed Xen-3.4.3-rc4-pre with the same domU HVM
stubdom configuration and got this message. 
   
localhost:~/XENSTORE/router#xm create router 
   
Using config file "./router".
