I had a lot of problems getting the new xl.cfg(5) parser to accept
old-style and now-deprecated "disk" and "vif" entries, but then again I
wasn't starting with existing working examples, and was making things up
without really knowing what would work.
Anyway, I would recommend converting to the new preferred style:
disk = [
'format=raw, vdev=0x1, access=rw, target=/dev/mapper/small-vm.router',
]
The syntax is still horrid -- I wish they had changed it to something
entirely new and simpler instead of this half-baked looks-like-python-
but-really-definitely-is-NOT-python mess that it is now. (E.g. the way
the "target" parameter is hackishly parsed, or not parsed, if you will).
Also, run the create with lots of verbosity (xl -vvv create), and check
the Xen/dom0 console output too (dmesg && xl dmesg). Those may give
more clues as to where the problem is occurring.
