Xen Hurd: Error: Device 768 (vbd) could not be connected

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I am trying to run Hurd with Xen as per the documentation:
http://youpibouh.thefreecat.org/hurd-xen/DOC.txt

on a HP Compaq nx7400 laptop running Debian GNU/Linux (Lenny/sid). I
have installed all the .deb from the above URL as well as
xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-i386-nonpae. Copied gnumach-xen, hurd-modules to
/boot. My /etc/xen/hurd is as follows:

=== Hurd ===

kernel = "/boot/gnumach-xen"
memory = 256
disk = ['phy:hda1,hda,w']
extra = "root=device:hd0"
# vif = [ 'dhcp' ]
ramdisk = "/boot/hurd-modules"

=== END ===

I booted into the Xen 3.2-1-i386-nonpae / Debian GNU/Linux, kernel
2.6.18-6-xen-686-nonpae. When running 'sudo xm create -c hurd', I get
the following output:

=== OUTPUT ===

Using config file "/etc/xen/hurd".
Error: Device 768 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

=== END ===

Is the value of disk in /etc/xen/hurd file correct? I have / in
/dev/sda1, /home in /dev/sda2, swap in /dev/sda3. Appreciate any help
in this regard,

Thanks!

SK
