If you are running 3.4.1 or newer, please send me the contents of
/var/log/xen/qemu-dm-<domu name>.log

When I break things like that (as you can imagine it happens a bit in
testing :) I do normally just mount the volume in another domu and
remove all references to gplpv from the registry. The uninstall bat
files should give you an idea of what needs removing.

I'd like to find out what went wrong though... was it working before,
and the block-attach broke it?
