Thanks for your reply. I've updated the sources today (using git pull), and then I compiled the kernel again... so it should be the most recent 2.6.31.6 from the Jeremy's repository.  Now I tried to pull again, but it says "Already up-to-date." Meanwhile, I have also tried to compile with CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP2=y (and CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_TAP=y remained), but still no result.

Any ideas?

Darko

What's your pv_ops dom0 version? when did you check it out?
Only the very recent (as of a couple of days ago) pv_ops dom0
kernels have working blktap2.
