You can use the -p option to specify a partition number to mount.

Reason is that older model creates /dev/xvd* devices (see message history for bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=674088 ) and xe-edit-bootloader just add partition number to device (/dev/xvdb -> /dev/xvdb1). With new sm model this is not true: script must call kpartx to probe partition table of attached VDI.
