For my nova/virt/libvirt.xml.template on my compute node.

The following is being done.

  #if $type == 'xen'
        #set $disk_prefix = 'sd'
        #set $disk_bus = 'scsi'
            <type>linux</type>
            <root>/dev/xvda</root>

Should that be /dev/sda for the /root node here?

Ya, that is what I was thinking also.

I haven't customized anything though. This is just the normal euca-run-instances + basic openstack diablo-3.

$ euca-run-instances  ami-0000001f  -k mykey -t m1.tiny

Where ami is:

IMAGE    ami-0000001f    ubb/maverick-server-uec-amd64.img.manifest.xml        available    private        x86_64    machine    aki-0000001e
IMAGE    aki-0000001e    ubb/maverick-server-uec-amd64-vmlinuz-virtual.manifest.xml        available    private        x86_64    kernel

The original libvirt from openstack is the following (the previous one was from virsh dumpxml):

Maybe there is a bug in the libvirt + xen usage in openstack, since it seems like that file should not be having a "sda" hard drive being used?

The annoying thing is with this crash is that it seems that xen is burning cpu cycles when it does crash, thus making the machine harder to use.

It looks you specified "root=/dev/xvda", but the disk that is
instantiated is /dev/sda.
But I didn't see why it happened. Did you customized the template
for libvirt, libvirt.xml.template?
