[Xen-users] problems installing VT xen

Hi, I''m working on getting xen installed on a VT enabled system and
running into some pretty frustrating problems. I clone and build the vtx
mercurial tree (http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-vtx-unstable.hg),
get it installed without any problems, and after rebooting into the new
kernel everything is fine through ''xend start'' and
''xm list'' showing
domain 0 working as intended. However when I attempt to start up a guest
domain (I''m using the sarge.img image file recommended on the wiki
page), both that process and any successive "xm list" hang until given
a
ctrl+c, and then spit out something which closely resembles this:


ckanich@xenonvt:~$ sudo xm create /etc/xen/xmexample.vmx
Using config file "/etc/xen/xmexample.vmx".
VNC= 1
Unexpected error: exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt

Any suggestions as to what might be happening? I''ve tried this both in
a
  dhcp environment and with a static IP for the xen host, and nothing I
try even gives me a different error message.
Thanks for any help possible,
Chris Kanich
