Re: [Xen-devel] More on domU not starting

[Ryan Grimm <grimm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know what the desired behavior should be, but good point about the 
two disk statements...i am able to now get the desired behavior by using 
one like you suggested.
mine now looks like:

disk = [ 'phy:sda3,hda1,w', 'file:/path/to/image,hda1,w' ]

so i dont need the /dev in front of sda3 after all...but i think that if 
you export hda6 as hda6, you need to specify hda6 instead of sda1.  so i 
think your disk and root statements should be:
disk = [ 'phy:hda6,hda6,w',
         'file:/xen/disk-images/dom1.fs,hda6,w']
root = "/dev/hda6 ro"

at least that is what works on my machine :)
