Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] qemu-xen-3.4-testing: Fix read-only image file handling

[Michal Novotny <minovotn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well,
it doesn't seem to be that easy because I can't boot any of the guests. 
No matter whether HVM or PV.
For PV it's connected with the hotplugging:

# xm create rhel5-32pv
Using config file "./rhel5-32pv".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

fragment from xend.log:

For PV guests there was a change of blktap to blktap2. Couldn't this be 
related? How could I check I'm using the blktap2 ? Also, my test machine 
is Intel Xeon X5460 @ 3.16 Ghz, quad-core with 8 GiB RAM running on 
RHEL-5 with upstream 4.1 xen.
