Xen users - Sep 2005 - Gentoo/Xen 3.0 - Failure to create domains

I got around to fixing one of my servers last night and decided that I would
install Xen on it.  I installed Gentoo 2005.1 as the original OS, then installed
the Xen package available in Portage (3.0.0/2005-09-06).  I also installed the
xen-sources kernel that is available in Portage.  Everything went smoothly; upon
rebooting everything was working.  I''m using a 2.6.12-5 kernel.  The
xend processes are running.

''xm list'' provides the following
Domain-0           0      251    -      2   r----    740.0

I then try to create the ttylinux test domain.  The config file is as follows:
kernel = "/boot/kernel-2.6.12.5-xenU"
memory = 64
name = "ttylinux"
nics=1

disk = [''file:/opt/xen/ttylinux-xen,hda1,w'']
root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

I then try to create the domain:
linux-1 xen # xm create ttylinuxVM
Using config file "ttylinuxVM".
Error: Error creating domain: invalid key ''type''

If I do a ''xm list'' again, it''ll show up:
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU VCPU(s)  State  Time(s)
Domain-0           0      251    -      2   r----    742.0
ttylinux           6       64    1      1   --p--      0.0

However, I am unable to access the console.  If I look at the logs, I see the
following complaints:
[2005-09-12 12:40:12 xend] WARNING (XendDomainInfo:1119) Unknown config field

Any ideas as to what I did wrong, or how I can go about fixing it?

Is your dom0 kernel built with loopback support? If you are using a
binary XenLinux kernel or the default Xen config, it should be. If you
are using a custom config or the default Gentoo config it may not be.

Can''t help you with this one, I''m afraid. Anyone else?
