I have 5 “identical” VMs, created from a “golden_copy” of an install of Centos 5.5.

I have used :

xm shutdown –a –w

to shutdown all VMs, and wait for each of them to come down gracefully.

However, after restarting, one of the VM is not coming up anymore, with a “device 0 not connected” error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 493, in run_domain

What is at issue? Any hints would be highly appreciated.
