[Xen-users] xen 3.0 Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

[louie <louie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

        I use debian sarge with xen 3.0 changeset 8112, make from source and 
boot dom0
without problems.

        But when I try to start first domU, it complained 
"Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found."

drbl:~# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      167     2 r-----  7283.9
etch                               1       60     1 --p---     0.0

        Then I check /var/log/xend.log

[2005-11-30 13:44:50 xend] ERROR (SrvBase:87) Request wait_for_devices failed.

        I have no idea how it is going on, but when I check /var/log/syslog

        So I destroy paused domU, manual "modprobe loop", then "xm create etch" 
again
        It worked well. Now I can start my domUs well, any thought ??
