 } >Description:
 } xl in pkgsrc/sysutils/xentools41, the xen domain control utility
 } to replace xm, has the following problems:
 
      xl in xentools41 is known not to work properly.  If you want to
 use xl, then you should be using xentools42 (and xenkernel42).
 
 } 2) Once problem 1) is fixed, xl also has another bug that caused
 } xenbackendd to not call the 'block' script to properly undo the
 } vnd device.
 
      If you are using xl then you should not be running xenbackendd.
 That is only for use with xm.  Using the combination of xl and
 xenbackendd can mess things up.  This would be another reason to
 use xentools42 since the startup scripts have been redone to get
 this correct.
