You mean you created /dev/xvda on the dom0? If so, you don't need to
do that, on the other hand it needs to exist inside the domU,
presumably it's a hard-coded device in /dev from the initrd rather
than udev created (it'd be to late), I've never had to check.

I wonder why it mixes its xvd* and sd* devices?
