xen 3.4.0 cant create domU with tap:aio

[rolfi23]

hi guys,

we have running sles11 and xen3.4.0 with convirt.

we have many domU running created with vm-install and clone one finished to other domUs. The harddisk of the domU is created with file. i want now create a new domU with tap:aio on local disk. This doesnt work.

i created it with vm-install. The setup start and hardware probing was ok. But than by formatting the harddisk the setup hangs at 8% and never finished. after 30 minutes waiting a decided to kill this setup. And now i cant start any domU (file-based harddis) on this server. i must restart. after that i can start filebased harddisk domUs. but no tap:aio - based domU.

the xenblk is loaded in kernel. all needed modules are loaded!
we use the xenkernel which comes with sles11.

again Problem: i want to create a domU with a tap:aio based harddisk and cdrom. i have no problems with domUs with file basd harddisk

Thank you for your help.
