[Xen-ia64-devel] New error trying to create a domain (using latest xend-unstable

[Kayvan Sylvan <kayvan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I am getting the following error on an HP superdome when trying to "xm create" 
an HVM domain. I am stumped about what to do next to debug this. This exact 
same configuration has worked on Intel and NEC machines. Any help is greatly 
appreciated.

# xm create -c PSI52.hvm
Using config file "./PSI52.hvm".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

The config file is pretty simple:

import os, re
arch_libdir = 'lib'
loader = "/root/efi-vfirmware.hg/binaries/xenia64-gfw.bin"
builder='hvm'
memory = 2048
shadow_memory = 96
name = "PSI52"
vcpus=4
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:15:60:04:d5:10, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/root/nfs/sd3p2-PSI52.img,hda,w', 
'file:/root/Xen/isos/ML5.2-IA64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm.debug'
boot="d"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncdisplay=52
vncpasswd='xxxyyyzzz'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'

Some more info (from "xm dmesg"):
