Hello, I've been doing some more research, and disabled the execution of scripts in xenbackendd, so no action is performed to disconnect/remove devices from xenstore, the trace from xenbackendd shows the following when shutting down: read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713: 5 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713: 6 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714: 5 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714: 6 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0/online read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0: 5 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/console/3/0 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714/online read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51714: 5 read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713/online read from xen watch: /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713/state status of /local/domain/0/backend/vbd/3/51713: 5 Devices seem to be in the close states (6), but then something sets them again to closing (5). That's where the problems comes from, when xenbackendd reads a state 6, it closes the device and deletes the entry from xenstore, but another process is setting the state to 5, so the device is added again to xenstore and prevents to boot the machine again (I can always delete the device with xenstore-rm and boot again with no problem).
