I'll maintain this list until everything is resolved...

Problem:

Not all my disk devices are mounting, swap is missing, or things in /proc/partitions don't match what's in your config profile.

Solution:

Keep rebooting until you see all your devices in /proc/partitions. I've got an email into the xen mailing list, awaiting response.

Status: RESOLVED

Problem:
Code: Checking root filesystem
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /] fsck.ext3 -a /dev/hda1
/dev/hda1 is mounted.  e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.

[FAILED]

*** An error occurred during the file system check.
*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot
*** when you leave the shell.
Give root password for maintenance
(or type Control-D to continue):
Solution:

Make sure that the "read-only" flag is set in your configuration profile.

The migration routine is supposed to do this for you, but sometimes it's missing still. Looking into it.

Status: RESOLVED

The read-only flag setting has been fixed, as well as the missing devices issue.

I'd appreciate a report if either of these still happen for someone.

Currently, there are no outstanding issues with Xen :)
