I built xen in /home/xen/bin and I have a small partition for xen guests on

/dev/hdc3             2.0G   35M  1.8G   2% /xen

Here is my config file for creating the new guest domain:

----------------------------- snip --------------------------------------
def vmid_check(var, val):
    val = int(val)
    if val <= 0:
        raise ValueError
    return val

xm_vars.var('vmid',
            use="Virtual machine id. Integer greater than 0.",
            check=vmid_check)

xm_vars.check()

kernel = "/boot/xen-3.0.gz"
memory = 128
name = "VM%d" % vmid
vcpus = 2 # make your domain a 4-way
vif = [ '' ]
disk = [ 'phy:hdc3,hdc3,w' ]
dhcp="dhcp"
hostname= "vm%d" % vmid
root = "/dev/hdc ro"
extra = "4 VMID=%d usr=/dev/hdc1" % vmid
----------------------------- snip --------------------------------------

When I try to create the guest domain, I get this:

        Using config file "0Sguest".
        Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Is there any way to get a more verbose error output?
