Re: [Xen-devel] XP: VBD could not connect to backend device:USB boot

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, as Mats said, it would seem that some fundamental setup is breaking 
somewhere.  Gosh, that does sound a bit vague of me, sorry!

I take it you've checked the disk images (e.g. /root/xenimages/hd.img) are 
mounted at the correct positions.  You don't need the ioemu: syntax anymore, 
so try removing that.

Finally, you could try removing the CDROM argument to simplify the setup, 
although this shouldn't make a difference! (I don't believe the problem is 
with the CD-ROM itself - the error suggests hda can't connect).

I'm sorry I don't have anything more specific to suggest right now - but it 
looks like it ought to be fixable, anyhow.  Hopefully we can figure it out 
together.

Cheers,
mark
