(FWIW I don't actually work on XenServer any more, I work on Xen.org
these days).
I closed the bug because PVHVM is an unsupported configuration on
XenServer and the original reporter said it worked for him on 5.6.1.
PVHVM support works fine for me on other platforms so I determined that
something was wrong with 5.6.0.
I think I had, at the time, a vague idea about some possible bugs in
mind which could have been present in XenServer and caused this sort of
issue but I don't recall what they were.
I'm sorry to say that if you cannot upgrade your XenServer installation
because you have modified the XenServer installation to add unsupported
features such as DRDB then that is not Debian's fault -- sorry. You
should contact your XenServer support representative. If I'm wrong and
DRDB is supported by XenServer then you should obviously still contact
your support representative if 5.6.1 is broken for you.
Ian.
