Error:
GetUserListSchema(): Failed to get the list schema XML for feature '...', template '...': hr=0x81072101.

Solution:

feature id in list instance is wrong it should be the feature id where list is defined.

so for example if you create ListInstance (Categories) from Custom List (out of the box)

you will get this XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <ListInstance Title="Categories"
                OnQuickLaunch="TRUE"
                TemplateType="100"
                FeatureId="00bfea71-de22-43b2-a848-c05709900100"
                Url="Lists/Categories"
                RootWebOnly="TRUE"
                Description="">
 </ListInstance>

if for any reason you changed the  FeatureId="00bfea71-de22-43b2-a848-c05709900100" to 
 FeatureId="xxxx" you will get this error
GetUserListSchema(): Failed to get the list schema XML for feature '', template '100': hr=0x81072101.
