[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#688638: xen-utils-4.2: cannot run PV DomU off a disk image

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: xen-utils-4.2
Version: 4.2.0-1
Severity: important

Hello,

I tried running a DomU usinga disk image file for storage.

This tries to use qemu-dm to attach the file as disk which does not
exist.

When I set up a loop device using the disk image and use that as disk it
attaches without issues.
