Xen users - Jul 2007 - /proc/xen/capabilities empty - xend not start

Hi all.
I''m installing Xen on a debian Etch, following this guide:

http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_from_debian_repository

But xend does not start.
If i look at the xend init script, i find this line:
...
grep -q "control_d" /proc/xen/capabilities || exit 0
...
and here init script exit: my /proc/xen/capabilities is infact empty.

If i try to comment this line:
...
#grep -q "control_d" /proc/xen/capabilities || exit 0
...
e try to start xend:
calypso:/var/log/xen# /etc/init.d/xend start
Starting XEN control daemon: xend failed!

That''s all the /var/log/xen/xend.log file:
2007-07-04 08:36:28 xend 3210] INFO (__init__:1072) Xend Daemon started

I don''t understand well were is the problem, but maybe
.....
Error: (111, ''Connection refused'')
.....
could help.
Also in /var/log/xen/xend-debug.log, the only oine line reports:
Exception starting xend: (111, ''Connection refused'')

Anyone can help me?
Thanks!

I suspect you''re not running the correct kernel.

What do you get from uname -a?  My etch dom0 gets:

Linux goliath 2.6.20-1-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 22:23:22 UTC 2007 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Doh!

}} I suspect you''re not running the correct kernel.

Sorry, but the new xen kernel was not loaded.....
The kernel in use is the Etch one.

Now i''ll chek why it happens...
/etc/grub/menu.lst is infact ok...

Bye
