Xen users - Sep 2006 - Dom0 dies on first reboot (apt-get install)

Hey, I''ve been trying to get Xen 3 up and running on a Debian Sid
machine for
the past several days. The exact procedure im following is as follows.

1. Install debian
2. Upgrade to Sid
3. Follow the instructions here
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396

Step 3 is basically an apt-get of the xen hypervisor, xen utils and
linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686. After this I reboot and get the following

http://silenthack.co.uk/nnp/screen.jpg

Yes, that screen shot is from xen running in parallels on the mac but let me
explain before you call me crazy. That is the EXACT same error I get if i
try to install it on my regular box so i installed it in parallels following
the same steps so i could provide a screen shot. (The other box is actually
an AMD so i used the k7 kernel image on that)

Anyways, anyone have any ideas? Its not exactly a complex process so either
im messing up something small or im missing a step.

Thanks,
NNP

this is a pending Debian Bug (#384638). See my posting on this list
erlier. Debian Etch and Sid are currently broken. You currently can''t
run
Xen with standard Debian kernel packages. You have to downgrade or wait.

  Known bug in the Debian package: #384638

  See one possible solution here:

    http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/435

  (ie. revert from -2-xen-686 -> -1-xen-686.)

 You can downgrade the kernel package installing this:

 http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2006/07/18/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6.16/linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686_2.6.16-17_i386.deb

Thank you all for your replies. Its good to know its not my mistake this time
;)

I attempted the following and hit a wierd error. After adding 

deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool linux-2.6

to my sources.list I ran apt-get update and everything appeared to go fine.
I tried 
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.16-1-xen-686 

and the following happened. It gives me the standard message where it says
how much space the above package and the modules package will take up, to
which i say ok. The it asks whether it should install these packages without
verification, to which I also say yes and then as it attempts to get the
packages it gives me 404 not found error and exits. Here is a screen shot
