Did you change xvda to xvda1 in all cases?
Including in the /etc/fstab.

Yups.
I changed in /mnt/etc/fstab and generated initrd
Then I copied this initrd to /mnt/boot and modified my config file to accommodate xvda1 and the new initrd.
Unmounted the image from /mnt and gave it a whirl.
Still same issue..

I'll try the link. It looks promising..

Another idea..
Can I get dmesg logs for the guest kernel?

Thanks
M

Maybe some hints here:

(they use sda1 for example)

Cheers,
Todd
