In your case I am assuming you have a /dev/hda. edit the domU fstab to /dev/sda1 for / and dev/sda2 for swap and the domu config accordingly. Do not use sda1 or sda2 for any additional domU's. I will open up a bug on this shortly, this was bugging me for a while, but with this workaround my domu's now come up 100% of the time every time. Regards, Ted
