Reason is that older model creates /dev/xvd* devices (see message history for 
bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674088 ) and 
xe-edit-bootloader just add partition number to device (/dev/xvdb -> 
/dev/xvdb1). With new sm model this is not true: script must call kpartx to 
probe partition table of attached VDI.
