Re: [Xen-devel] failed startup caused by unpriveledged domain device nodes not present in priviledged domain

Xend uses the local device nodes in domain zero to look up the major / minor 
numbers for a virtual device before creating it.

On udev / devfs dom0s this problem does crop up, so it's also possible to 
specify the the device node number manually: try replacing sda1 with 0801.

Cheers,
Mark
