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:

here is my config file

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)
