[Xen-users] Xen noob and a destroyDevice error

["Graeme Gerber" <graeme@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all

The chaps at XenServer directed me to this mailing list and to my surprise found 2 very recent hits on the error I am receiving.  Is it a bug perhaps?

Here is more detail on my problem, please let me know if you have found anything to date.

On following the "Concise instructions for installing a CentOS VM on Xen"
http://mark.foster.cc/wiki/index.php/Centos-4_on_Xen
using a FC6 host and Oracle EL4 guest I am able to create the LVM partition, 
bootstrap etc. without any errors however when I attempt to create the VM a 
destroyDevice error is given.  

So you know I have attempted to boot with the FC6 xen kernel first  
(2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen) and then installed the Red Hat xen kernel 
vmlinuz-2.6.16.33-xen_3.0.4.1 by chroot and then rpm -ivh kernel-xen...   
I wonder if the kernel is correct!?!

# xm create -c el4-1

gives...

"Using config file "/etc/xen/el4-1".
Error: destroyDevice() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)"

"xm list" while "xm create" is running
