Xen users - May 2005 - xend won''t start after upgrade

Hi,

I just attempted to upgrade from a xen 2.0.5 debian package to a
2.0-testing from source circa 25th May.  I downloaded the
2.0-testing tgz, unpacked, compiled and installed without incident.

After rebooting my dom0 does boot correctly, however xend does not
start.  Trying "/usr/sbin/xend start" from the command line, it
instantly returns to the prompt with no error message and nothing
useful in /var/log/xend.log.

After this I can see there is an xfrd process, but no xend process.
There is a /var/run/xend.pid file but the pid it references does not
exist.

I did a strace of the daemon and through my python-ignorant eyes it
seems like it is not finding a bunch of files. 

You can find the strace output here:

xend.27513 is the one with the same pid as in /var/run/pid.

Please can anyone help me out as to why xend will not start?

Thanks,
Andy

After checking back in my archives of this list (sorry), I see this
is actually the problem where xend gets its database corrupted.  I
blew away /var/lib/xen/xend-db and everything seems to be OK now.
