[Xen-users] SOLVED: domU freezes solid after startup -- why?

The domU was freezing up in /etc/rcS.d/S11hwclock.sh -- presumably while
trying to run /sbin/hwclock.

I mounted the domU's disk, added   HWCLOCKACCESS=no   to /etc/default/rcS
-- bypassing the clock setting code (presumably unnecessary, right?, since
the domU's clock is simply a reflection of the dom0's clock?) -- and the
domU comes up just fine now.
