LinuxQuestions.org - Problems with xen in centOS 5.6

I install an XP on xen, and it worked fine, but i want to add a usb device in the machine.
so i use the methods in
http://www.virtuatopia.com/index.php..._domainU_Guest
while, first i wanted to use the dynamic method, which is the second one, but it failed, because when i get into the machine, ctrl+alt+2 didn't bring me to a console interface other than nothing.
so I tried the first one, while when i add the

Code:

usbdevice=['host:0781:5567']

in the configuration file, and create the machine, and it told me that

Code:

sudo xm create xenwin.cfg

Using config file "./xenwin.cfg".

Error: 'list' object has no attribute 'startswith'

why? i totally followed the steps. Hope that you know the answer and thanks for telling me...or you can tell me how to use a usb in the virtual machine.

here's something that might be helpful:

arch = os.uname()[4]

if re.search('64', arch):

    arch_libdir = 'lib64'

else:

    arch_libdir = 'lib'



kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"



builder='hvm'



memory = 512

shadow_memory = 8

name = "xenhvm"

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]

disk = [ 'file:/home/deity/xenwin.img,hda,w', 'file:/home/deity/Downloads/WinxpSP3.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]

device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d) 

# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy

boot="cd"



#monitor=1

sdl=0
