 Thanks, I tried your suggestion, the results are the same.  The 
system seems to be unable to find the IDE devices, I am using LVM 
devices 
IDE 
device = hde,  60Gb hd 
primary partition  = hde1 , volume group = vg, logical volume = 
/dev/vg/lvm1 which is a pointer to /dev/mapper/vg-lvm1 
When 
the /dev/vg/lvm1 device is mounted the Xencommand " xm 
create -c vm01.cfg"  produces the following 
error: 
  
#    'local': the device may not be used because it is 
mounted in the 
current #             
(i.e. the privileged domain) in a way incompatible with 
the #             
requested mode; 
  
This 
error is produced by /etc/xen/scripts/block. 
When 
unmounted the following is shown on the screen:

  I made some modifications after 
  reading the list messages in my e-mail box. I am now getting the following 
  error:  
  
  [2005-12-29 20:05:12 xend] DEBUG (blkif:24) exception 
  looking up device number for sda1: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
  '/dev/sda1' 
  I also 
  get an error on the screen that /dev/sda1 or /mnt/sda1does not exist and I 
  need to properly specify the boot parameter.  
  
  I get this error when I attempt to 
  use /dev/sda1 or /mnt/sda1; the LVM partition will mount successfully with a 
  mount command.  I moved it to /mnt/sda1 because the os deletes /dev/sda1 
  on reboot and I have to recreate it with a mkdir command.  When I mount 
  the /mnt/sda1 device and run "xm create -c vm01.cfg" I get an error that the 
  domain cannot mount because the device is in use.
