I don't know if it's already fixed upstream but this is my patch for it:

Anyone know how to fix this error? Same thing happened to me to create a virtual machine ubuntu. The host operating system is Cent0S-5.5 x86_64 with the following kernel 

[root@iTV-HostServer jdk1.6.0_24]# uname -a 
Linux iTV-HostServer 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5xen #1 SMP Fri Apr 1 19:35:13 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 

This is the result wich gives the Xen in the Virtaul Machine Manager when the process of creation of the virtual machine finish 

------------------
Unable to complete install: 'POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err 'Device 768 (vbd) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/block failed; error detected.')'
