xen, guest won't start, "Hotplug scripts not working"
Hi,
I'm trying to use xen for the first time. This box is running a recent
install of Lenny.
I've reading web howtos, the man pages and user.pdf, so it could be that I
am mixing and matching too much and not following the debian way, but here
goes:
# time xm create -c config.mabelle_vm /ramdisk=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-xen-686
Using config file "/etc/xen/config.mabelle_vm".
Error: Device 769 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

user 0m0.748s
sys 0m0.200s
>From my googling I'M guessing that vbd stands for "virtual block device"
