I am creating a cloud for my university using Eucalyptus with Xen (PCs have Debian Squeeze 64 bit installed). I have a problem with the following guest configuration:

#
# Configuration file for the Xen instance evenmorefinalfoo, created
# by xen-tools 4.2 on Thu May 26 11:03:06 2011.
#

#
#  Kernel + memory size
#
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64'

vcpus       = '1'
memory      = '128'

#
#  Disk device(s).
#
root        = '/dev/sda2 ro'
disk        = [
                  'file:/home/xen/domains/evenmorefinalfoo/disk.img,sda2,w',
                  'file:/home/xen/domains/evenmorefinalfoo/swap.img,sda1,w',
              ]

As you can see, the disk and swap images are meant to be mounted on sda1 and sda2. However, when I start the guest, these are mounted on xvda1 xvda2, provoking an error. Is there anything that I can do about that? It seems like it is a Xen error.

Thank you in advance,
