Try this:
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/recovery.img,hda,w'

Subject: xm create -c recovery fails
I'm running F8, xen-3.1.2-1.fc8, 2.6.21.7-2890.fc9xen.
I have a xen configuration which contains this stanza:
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/recovery.img,hda,w'
, 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/WindowsXP.img,hdb,w'
# , ',hdc:cdrom,r'
, 'phy:hda,ioemu:hdd,r'
]
If I comment out the line containing "'phy:hda,ioemu:hdd,r' then the xm create
line works and the guest starts up and runs fine. Whether I have "ioemu"
doesn't make any obvious difference, google suggested it.
With the stanza as above, it fails:
[root@potoroo ~]# time xm create -c recovery
Using config file "/etc/xen/recovery".
Error: Device 5696 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.
real 1m44.750s
user 0m0.080s
sys 0m0.067s
[root@potoroo ~]#
The only other thing I see is the VNC console opens, but it displays with a
white background.
