Pkg xen devel - Jun 2010 - Debian Lenny and kernel from backports not working

Hi.

 I'm having a problem which I am not able to solve and yet it is easily
reproducible.
1. Install Debian Stable AMD64
2. Add backports repository
3. aptitude -t lenny-backports install xen-linux-system-2.6.32-bpo5-xen-amd64

After rebooting You will get the usual error:
elf_init: not an ELF binary
***************************
Panic on CPU 0:
Could not set up DOM0 guest OS
***************************
reboot in five seconds

Am I doing something wrong? I cannot stay on Stable because I get "time
went backwards" errors in spite of using jiffies as clocksource so I am
looking for ways how to use official Debian stable packages as much as possible.
I am using HVM. OTOH virtual Windows guest VM's are not having problems with
time going backwards.

Kind regards,
John Wilcox.

Please ask the people providing the kernel. Neither the kernel nor the
xen team does.

(Short answer: You need at least Xen 3.4.3-rc3)
