RE: [Xen-devel] domU won't recognise my block devices

["James Harper" <james.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Changing to xvda or sda doesn't fix anything, nor does only using one
block device.

Maybe I have some leftover cruft from a previous install or previous
debian package install... any suggestions as to the best place to start
looking?

Thanks

James
