For me to, but I observed some kind of race condition probably between udev 
creating the device node and pygrub acessing it: The first start of my domain 
failed with "Disk isn't accessible", while subsequent starts worked fine. I 
could reproduce this after doing a reboot: 1st start failed, further starts  
worked fine.
After adding the following hack it even worked on a freshly rebooted system. 
(For my case the loop always exited on the second iteration.)
