I assume that even though xen0 is using the scsi device directly, and that i'm exporting /dev/sda7 to xenU, xenU shouldn't need any scsi block devices at all, is that correct? SCSI was enabled, i'm now trying it with SCSI not selected at all. > > Correct --- you don't need low-level device drivers in xenU.

Just to follow up, although you never need SCSI low-level drivers in an unprivileged kernel, there are still occasions where you might want the SCSI core and disk code, for instance when using iSCSI within the domain.
