[Fedora-xen] destroydevice

[Jordi Prats]

Hi again,
It seems to me that really are a problem here. I've created a new 
virtual machine, but after shuting down it I can't create it again. The 
error reported is:

[root at inf16 ssh]# xm create /etc/xen/granit.cfg -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/granit.cfg".
Error: destroyDevice() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given)

Thanks,
Jordi
