I have create PRECISE domU PV on production system with Squeeze, Xen 4.0 and
using xm, the "only problem" is occasional critical on disk:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/913760
Copying the domU on test server not start, seem to be malconfiguration of
grub but it isn't (tried grub1 minimal working on production system and its
grub2 full)
Dom0 is Squeeze 6.0.4 64 bit with kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 version
2.6.32-41, xen from xen-unstable.hg changeset 24709:8ba7ae0b070b
DomU is Precise created today:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/xen/
DomU xl configuration files:
--------------------------------------------------
name='PRECISE'
memory=1024
vcpus=2
disk=['/mnt/vm/disks/PRECISE.disk1.xm,raw,xvda1,rw',
'/mnt/vm/disks/PRECISE.disk2.xm,raw,xvda2,rw']
vif=['bridge=xenbr0']
vfb=['vnc=1,vncunused=1,vnclisten=0.0.0.0,keymap=it']
bootloader='/usr/bin/pygrub'
--------------------------------------------------
And the full screen log on this attachment:
http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/file/n5479428/PRECISE.txt PRECISE.txt
If you need more test and data ask me and I do and post.
Thanks for any reply and sorry for bad english.

As I tried to you in that bug, the problem is likely the code used in the host
(Debian/Xen 4.0). It will offer the barrier method to do syncs and there has
been a problem with empty barrier requests which also has a fix

Subject: xen/blkback: don't fail empty barrier requests
But that needs to be applied to the dom0.

You boot looks like it does not find any filesystem (or at least no uuid in
xvda1. Have you checked the disk image with blkid?

Ok, so that looks ok. The /proc/partitions output looks like xvda1 is present
(at least ot the kernel). When you fall into the emergency shell, is there a
/dev/xvda1, and then as the next piece in that chain an entry in
/dev/disk-by-uuid/ ?

There are already some on attachment of first post...
...

(initramfs) blkid
/dev/xvda2: UUID="3a4d1b29-15b2-47b1-b97f-8c258a8b10d8" TYPE="swap"

Only xvda2 (swap) seem to be full and correct, xvda1 not.
On production system the same domU work, differences in which there is very
likely the cause of the problem are then:
Xen 4.0 with xm on production system and xen-unstable with xl on test system
But I have no certainty that it is a problem of xen and/or xl.
Thanks for any reply and sorry for bad english.

Right, saw that. This is what the kernel has. So internally xvda1 is there and
has a size. The uuid link is created (or should be) when the device becomes
ready. Interestingly I can see a capacity change message for xvda2 but not for
xvda1. Not sure why.
But then there is also the fact that when you do a blkid manually, you also do
not get any info there. Not sure there would be any errors anywhere about that
or you just get no data at all.
Of course this could be related to something xl in 4.0 does differently. Problem
is I have 4.1.2 and I cannot see the same issues.
