This is starting to blur more and more. As I originally understood it,
sd* was for
SCSI and xvd* was for Xen block device. This would allow the guest to be given
a SCSI device and the the driver would be the standard SCSI driver when passed
sda and the xen blk driver when passed a xvd* device.

For the most part this is true in general, but for PV guests it seems that Xen
does a good job of using possibly the same driver (I am not actually 100%
sure of the current status). I think that specifying sd*, hd*, xvd* is
more important
for HVM guests, since these guests need to provide the drivers in way or another
themselves.

I would love if others could explain this with more authority and more
clearly...

Did you have problems with anything not working?

Does the disk and network work?

I have noticed errors similar to this, especial for the console, and the console
still works.
