Package: xen-utils-4.1
Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1
Severity: important

When starting (or migrating in) a domain, sometimes I get the following 
exception:

[2014-04-01 10:58:08 4821] ERROR (XendDomainInfo:2927)

Error: (2, 'No such file or directory')
[2014-04-01 10:58:08 4821] ERROR (XendDomainInfo:488) VM start failed


After this, the system is left in an inconsistent state:

# xm list|grep x
x                                      69  1024     1     --ps--      0.0
# xm destroy x
Error: (2, 'No such file or directory')
Usage: xm destroy <Domain>

Terminate a domain immediately.


Now if I try to 'xm create' a new domain, I get the following:

After restaring xend even a simple 'xm list' operation results in Error: (2, 
'No such file or directory'):

Changing the toolstack to xl gave some basic functionality back (I can at least 
list VMs now,
starting is not possible and other operations have not been tried yet).

The configuration of the VM that triggered this issue is the following:

kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
builder='hvm'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
vfb = ['type=vnc,vnclisten=0.0.0.0:6122,vncdisplay=6122,vncpasswd=x']
memory = 1024
name = "x"
vcpus = 1
vif = [ 'vifname=x,mac=00:16:3e:00:00:22,ip=x' ]
disk = [ 'phy:x,hda,w', ]
