Hello,

        I have Xen 3.0 running in my system. I have compiled a custom kernel
for the dom0 in order to have support for megaraid (my root filesystem
is in a megaraid radi) and USB (I have an usb cdrom). In the dom0 I can
mount and umount the cd without any problem.

        So now I want to be able to mount the CD in the domU. So, for one of my
domU's I change:

disk    = ['file:/vhosts/images/root_base.img,hda1,w',
                   'file:/vhosts/images/swap_base.img,hda2,w'
                  ]

        for:

disk    = ['file:/vhosts/images/root_base.img,hda1,w',
           'file:/vhosts/images/swap_base.img,hda2,w',
           'phy:scd0,hdc,w'
          ]

(scd0 is my cdrom device)

        but it doesn't working. Every time I boot this domU, I get the error:

        although I get the error, the domU seems to be booted. I can connect to
it and so on. The problem is:

* If I disconnect from its console, I can't connect to the console
anymore. I even can't connect to any other console.

* I can't shutdown the system. If I try it, the domU becomes zombie and
I can't destroy it. I can't destroy any other domU too.

        Any idea?
