Hi, Yongkang,

I came across the same message, too.  The changeset were 11609 and
11456.  The number of vcpus in a guest seems to have some relevance
since I see this bug almost always with vcpus=4 in XenU configuration,
while I have no problem with vcpus=1, 2 and 3.  In addition, I could
biring up XenU with vcpus=3 just after the failure occurred with vcpus=4.

The command line and the message:

# xm create /etc/xen/rhel4PAR-xx.xx.xx.xx-vcpu4 -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/rhel4PAR-xx.xx.xx.xx-vcpu4".
Error: Device 768 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.


A detailed configurations:
