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

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just noticed something:

disk = 
['file:/root/xenimages/hd.img,ioemu:hda1,w', 
'file:/root/xenimages/XP.iso,hde:cdrom,r'] 

You can't export devices as partitions for HVM guests; you need to change the 
hda1 to an hda...

Have you tried that?

Cheers,
Mark

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat?  And no pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!
