Hi,
I created a 100 MB file image using dd:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/xen/tmp_disk bs=1024k count=100

Then i created a file system in it:
mkfs -t ext3 /xen/tmp_disk

I mounted the disk and copied a file on it, which I would like to access:
mount -o loop /xen/tmp_disk /mnt/tmp
cp test_file.cfg /mnt/tmp
umount /mnt/tmp

Then I tried to distribute the disk to the hvm machine.
With ['tap:aio:/xen/tmp_disk,hdb,r'] I'll get:
(XEN) (GUEST: 17) ata0  slave: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (0 MBytes)
(XEN) (GUEST: 69) ata0  slave: Unknown device
(XEN) (GUEST: 69) Booting from CD-Rom...
(XEN) (GUEST: 69) int13_harddisk: function 15, unmapped device for ELDL=81
(XEN) (GUEST: 69) KBD: unsupported int 16h function 03

(XEN) (GUEST: 69) int13_harddisk: function 41, unmapped device for ELDL=81

With ['file:/xen/tmp_disk,hdb,r'] I'll get:
(XEN) (GUEST: 18) ata0  slave: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (100 MBytes)
(XEN) (GUEST: 18) Booting from CD-Rom...
(XEN) (GUEST: 18) unsupported PCI BIOS function 0x0E
(XEN) (GUEST: 18) int13_harddisk: function 15, unmapped device for ELDL=82
(XEN) (GUEST: 18) *** int 15h function AX=E980, BX=00FE not yet supported!

Though tap:aio is redommended, the "file:.." version works for me. Any hints why tap:aio is not working? What about the error message above in both cases?

Regards Jonas
