Hi Ian,

the sata drivers are compiled into the kernel.
However, I fixed the problem and I can start the guest domain with xm create. 
The problem was that I have messed up something with LVM so it wasn't working 
properly. I created a new guest domain instance with loopback image and all is 
fine.

Thanks to the numerous answers and help.

Hello,

Did you set your dom u config to use a RAM disk or are the sata drivers 
complied into the kernel?

Hi Andreas, and everyone,

I did as you said and I set extra= "xencons=tty". Now the boot precess goes 
some more lines further but now there is another problem. These are the last 
lines of the output of xm create -c ...

...
fuse init (API version 7.7)
Done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ...
Done.
Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
Done.
Begin: Waiting for root file system... ...
Done.
chvt: can't open console
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Bad file descriptor
Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
chvt: can't open console
chvt: VT_ACTIVATE: Bad file descriptor
ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Ubuntu 1:1.10.2-1ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) 

Does that mean that the virtual machine cannot recognize the file system? I 
have a SATA hard drive and I am using the same kernel and setup as for dom0. I 
tried also specifying the root device as its UUID but didn't work neither.
Do have any idea?

Thank you

Check if "xm list" shows you a running state ("r" for running or "b" for 
booting, "p" often means that an error occurred). I guess you might have 
forgotten the line

extra = ''xencons=tty"

so the domU seems to hang because it doesn't show the login prompt on 
the correct console.

Compare to this thread:
