Presumably the tools are creating a /local/domain/3/console/0
entry if you donât specify VNC; itâs another example of the same issue you saw
before. The Citrix PV drivers are not routinely tested on xen-unstable; you
need to tweak your tools to give them the environment they expect (which is
that the only thing under /local/domain/XXX/device are vbd and vif nodes).   Â Paul

Hello Ian
 there is no "vfb" in the .sxp
 
 Here is it:
 (Node: XEN 4.0.1 + 2.6.32.21 pvops)
 I have found out one interesting point, I have described it under the config
file.
 
 name = 'windows'
 kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
 builder = 'hvm'
 device_model = '/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
 memory = 4096
 vcpus=4
 acpi=1
 apic=1
 vif = [ 'bridge=eth0' ]
 disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vserv/windows,hda,w',
 'file:/root/SW_DVD5_Windows_Svr_DC_EE_SE_Web_2008R2_64-bit_German_X15-59762.ISO,hdc:cdrom,r'
]
 boot='c'
 usbdevice='tablet'
 vnc=1
 vncunused=0
 vnclisten = '10.10.10.137'
 vncdisplay=2
 vncconsole=1
 vncpasswd=''
 vncviewer=0
 sdl=0
 stdvga=0
 serial='pty'
 ne2000 = "0"
 
 on_reboot   = 'restart'
 on_crash    = 'restart'
 
 
 
 After removing all statements with "vnc" out of the sxp file and
restarting the windows domU, I get in the qemu logs:
 
 XENUTIL: WARNING: CloseFrontend: timed out in XenbusWaitForBackendStateChange:
/local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0 in state INITIALISING; retry.
 
 Now it is not vfb, it is CONSOLE.
 
 Best regards
 Gio

 vfb is the virtual frame buffer.
 
 The frontend/backend protocol for VFB is a different to most other
 device types and is incompatible with the Windows PV drivers.
 
 You should remove any "vfb" configuration items from your domain
 configuration file, I think.
 
 Ian.
