Guest domains stuck in 'Openboot Initializing' in T5120

Hi everyone,

I just configured my ldoms in a T5120. The new configuration boots, i.e.
everything runs smoothly and I can login _to my primary domain_. ldomctl status
reports, however, that each and every guest domain is 'Openboot Initializing'.
It stays like that forever, and though I can, in theory, connect to all guest domains
using ldomctl console, I can do nothing. I already tried panicking the domains to no avail.
I have attached my ldom.conf.
I have searched for the mailing lists but none of the mentions of 'Openboot Initializing'
seems to describe a very different problem.

The potential 'gotchas' I can think of are:

a) virtual disks too big? each one is 100G
b) Permissions of the virtual disks?
c) location of the virtual disks?
d) Resource exhaustion? (even though I have carefully calibrated the chunks)

Any pointers in the right direction greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
