I'd expect to see the hard disk being seen by the guest, ie. a message similar to this in the kernel output: [ 0.610168] virtio-pci 0000:00:02.0: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 34 [ 0.614532] scsi2 : Virtio SCSI HBA [ 0.617271] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 1.7.

This is possibly a libvirt or Xen issue. Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.
