Additional info.

If xend and xendomains are set to run automatically at boot time via 
chkconfig the same error occurs, but ONLY when the pci device has been 
exported to a domU.  An "xm list" starts at domid 2, showing that one 
domU has failed at startup.

Again, the error is familiar, but this time displays on the domain-0 
console:

   local variable dev_config referenced before assignment
