Having hotplug-status == "connected" will allow the backend to proceed to the connected state, so there's some component in your system that sets this xenstore node before `xl devd` get a change to run the hotplug script, hence me asking for any udev rules in the previous email. If it's not an udev rule then I'm lost. Do you have any modifications to the Xen tools that could set this xenstore node? Regards, Roger.
