Xen users - Oct 2005 - Debian domU trouble

I have an Ubuntu dom0 system running the dom0 kernel from the Xen distribution 
(2.0.7). 

The kernel on the domU boots successfuly, and init starts. After debian starts 
cron, the system appears to hang. After a few minutes, the domU kernel says 
that PIDs 1-5 are respawning too fast and have been suspended. I''m
using a
file loopback as the main disk.


Any ideas? The simple ttylinux distribution appears to work just fine, 
networking and all.

Host system is Ubuntu Breezy Badger on a Thinkpad T40p (Pentium M) w/768 ram.
domU is Debian Sarge installed via debootstrap. 128M ram to domU.

AFAK, the respawning too fast error is related to the consoles defined
in /etc/inittab.

I''ve commented out the folowing lines, and it stop appearing:

2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

This lines are for the alternative consoles (ALT+F2, ALT+F3,etc), so
there is no problem in disabling them.


For the cron problems, maybe its trying to update the system time
before the network is up?
