The relevant fix is in the "xen-domUloader.diff" patch in the SuSE
 SRPM. When applied to the stock install, my hotplug scripts are
 triggering happily. I have to debug some issues with them under Centos
 and the iscsiadm paths are different from SuSE, but I'm on the right
 path now. (There's a ton of other SuSE fixes in their SRPM as well,
 but I was trying to keep a minimal change set so as to be as "stock"
 as possible.)

Why not just side-step all of this and do your iSCSI initiating in dom0,
then LVM the LUN and boot the domU off of a phy: allocation?  I've seen
several posts lately regarding the complexities of iSCSI, booting
domU's, etc., and I'm wondering why no one is just treated like normal
SAN or SCSI LUNs.

Migration?
