Good hint! I searched a bit about that and found many
similar postings. Unfortunatly, I was yet not able to try
the above mentioned workaround, since Debian Etch packages
of Xen ship without blktap driver:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=402969

Looks like I would need to build my own packages to try the
workaround - or did anyone need blktap too and has found out
a shorter way to integrate blktap?

Regards, Thomas.
