Well,
it doesn't seem to be that easy because I can't boot any of the guests.
No matter whether HVM or PV.

For PV it's connected with the hotplugging:

# xm create rhel5-32pv
Using config file "./rhel5-32pv".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

Do you have correct bridge= specified for the vif? Does the bridge exist?


Yeah, everything is specified like it was and the bridge exists.

For HVM guests it's:

# xm create rhel5-32fv
Using config file "./rhel5-32fv".
Error: Not enough memory is available, and dom0 cannot be shrunk any further

Do you have dom0_mem=1024M for xen.gz in grub.conf ?
You should limit/dedicate some memory for only dom0 and thus prevent the need 
for ballooning.



 No, I'm not having dom0_mem here at all.

and also the xend.log fragment relevant to the issue:


For PV guests there was a change of blktap to blktap2. Couldn't this be
related? How could I check I'm using the blktap2 ? Also, my test machine
is Intel Xeon X5460 @ 3.16 Ghz, quad-core with 8 GiB RAM running on
RHEL-5 with upstream 4.1 xen.

Try first using just file:// if using image files, or phy: if using lvm volumes.

Ok, I'm using image files. Unfortunately it's not working after reboot so it's pretty bad now.
