app-emulation/xen-tools-4.1.0 is unable to start any domains due to the following error.... libxl: error: libxl_device.c:476:libxl__wait_for_device_model Device Model not ready xl: fatal error: libxl_create.c:535, rc=-1: libxl__confirm_device_model_startup Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install xen-tools-4.1.0 2. Attempt to create a domain using "xl create" 3. Watch in awe as it fails every time Actual Results: libxl: error: libxl_device.c:476:libxl__wait_for_device_model Device Model not ready xl: fatal error: libxl_create.c:535, rc=-1: libxl__confirm_device_model_startup Expected Results: Domain should start correctly This is a serious problem now as xen-tools-4.0.1 has been removed from portage and thus Xen cannot be used on a new installation.

Wondering whether you attempted starting the vm with xm or xl. The error cites libxl which is inconclusive. This system running xen & xen-tools-4.1.0 can start vms at will, only with xm. Cannot replicate this error. gentoo64 grub # dmesg | grep libxl gentoo64 grub # Coulf find no citing of libxl_device.c in /var/log/libvirt//libxl/libxl.log not in xen logs. What was the selected method of invoking the vm?

Either - both produced the same result IIRC. I am working on a Slotted ebuild and an eselect module allowing the side-by-side installation of 4.1.x and 4.0.x which will make testing much easier. When I've finished this I'll post it in my overlay and update this bug report with more info.
same, except hangs. Doesn't create any selected vms
I discovered that there is this gentoo64 files # ls -ld /etc/xen/xl.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 272 Sep 8 01:53 /etc/xen/xl.conf edit it and uncomment its three entries.retry I wull see to having this done on install
Created attachment 285855 [details] patch to uncomment settings in xl.conf, For file $PORTDIR/app-emulation/xen-tools/xen-tools-4.1.1-r1.ebuild Changelog; $PORTDIR/app-emulation/xen-tools/Changelog Sep 8 2011; Alexey Shvetsov <alexxy@gentoo.org> -xen-tools-4.1.1-r1.ebuild, uncomment in xlconf, fix bug 370817 input by Ian Delaney aka idella4
Max, comment and re-open if still causes problems
