# xl create /etc/xen/hvm.cfg
Parsing config file /etc/xen/hvm.cfg
libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:287:libxl__build_hvm hvm building failed
[FYI, it hangs for about 5 seconds here before giving up with the next two lines]
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:470:libxl__wait_for_device_model Device Model not ready
xl: fatal error: libxl_create.c:535, rc=-1: libxl__confirm_device_model_startup

I'm attaching the config file.
