I would agree it's broken as I've also been unable to get guests to work "out of the box". I've found the problem to be a missing kernel module in the initrd, required for disk access (xenblk.ko). If I build an initrd with xenblk.ko included, guests boot fine.
I just make an initrd this command:
mkinitrd --with=xenblk.ko /boot/your_image_name.img your_kernelname
Just use the kernel name from uname -a
mkinitrd --with=xenblk.ko /boot/initrd_test.img 2.6.19-prepcifs_fix
Thanks, but my problem is that the 'init' inside the initrd is runing lvm commands, probably because it was built on a host that has LVM, and I need to remove these lvm commands from the init inside the initrd. How do I do that?
Your above solution would have solved my problem yesterday when I ran into this, but now I have reimaged the server using LVM, and I am facing yet another problem.
thanks.
