Xen list,
I have a clean F20 install with the RC3 RPMs and see an error when
starting a VM. A similar issue was seen with the RC2 RPMs.
Thanks for the report.

After running the xenstore-write command VMs start up without issue.
This is a bug in the Fedora versions of the initscripts (or I suppose
these days they are systemd unit files or whatever). The sysvinit
scripts shipped with Xen itself have this write in already.
I am puzzled by this as the systemd files in the Fedora RC3 test build do
indeed run
/usr/bin/xenstore-write "/local/domain/0/domid" 0
so I am not sure why it isn't being set in this case. It certainly works
for me.
We should probably consider taking some unit files into the xen tree, if
someone wants to submit a set?
I can submit a set, which start services individually rather than a
unified xencommons style start file. I didn't find a good way to reproduce
the xendomains script, so I ended running an edited version of the
sysvinit script with a systemd wrapper file.
Would it make sense to have some sort of configure option tools to choose
between sysvinit and systemd?
