Thanks, fortunately it was just a "kept back" packages issue: 1) I installed hardy heron when it was devel 2) During subsequent upgrades, the 2.6...*-15* kernel was kept not upgrading to *-16* 3) apt-get dist-upgrade did the trick 4) tap:aio fixed the remaining vbd issue :) Thanks ! -- xend fa

My best guess is that it is a problem with the xen initrd (/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-12-xen). It seems to be only loading the fuse module and not the SCSI modules or any of the xen modules. The following are loaded by xend: blktap blkbk xenblk netloop netbk Do any of these and possible also SCSI
