[Xen-users] Unable to create WinXP DomU



Hi,

Since a week or two I can't create two of my three WinXP DomU's anymore, the 
third one starts just fine.

This is the basic error message I get:
# xm create WinXPViaLilaGeert
Using config file "./WinXPViaLilaGeert".
Error: Creating domain failed: name=WinXPViaLilaGeert

There is little information in this error message. /var/log/xen/xend.log has a 
little more:

But still I don't understand why this isn't working. A google search on this 
error didn't reveal much. Where else can I find a hint ?

Some more information:
The failing WinXP domain is a clone of the working WinXP domain. It has worked 
fine for some time, but not anymore. The server has been rebooted a couple of 
times in the meantime. Maybe that has something to do with it ?

Additional info on my setup:
* Dom0 is CentOS 5.3 (32bit)
* Xen is gitco stable (xen 3.3.1)
