Configuration this applies to:
Debian Lenny
xendomains was trying to bring up VMs, before drbd devices were initialized
- leading to all kinds of weirdness. The domains would try to come up, get
through the boot stages, and then hang as soon as they tried to mount root
and swap.
That, by itself, is strange. Whether you use phy:/dev/drbd*, or
block-drbd scripts, the drbd resource should not be accessible if drbd
has not been started yet. Not accessible means the domU should not be
able to start at all.
That's exactly the point - xen tries to access a non-existent boot device, and hangs in the middle of the boot process.
Since you use debian packages, your best bet is to contact their
package maintainer, or use their bug report mechanism.

Good point.  Thanks.
