Xen users - Aug 2008 - Installing XEN on Debian Lenny/Sid x64

Hello everybody! I''m quite curious if someone have made Xen work with
Debian
Lenny/Sid x64 and maybe even gotten xen-vserver to work?
I would like to get a new kernel working on my x64 machine with xen 3.2.1
but what I''ve tried with Lenny/Sid haven''t worked (from
respetories).
If someone gotten it working, does ioemu also work?
Maybe someone got a guide? Please link if so.
Thanks! =)
- Simon

I have a server running Etch which has had a partial upgrade to Lenny
(eg xen and any other packages required to make it work, and any other
security updates along with the following), and it worked except for the
following:
. serial emulation is broken
. windows 2008 x32 doesn''t work (crashes during install or shortly
after)

Both of those I have resolved by applying patches from xen upstream to
the Debian sources and rebuilding the xen packages.

It is running on an AMD Opteron, if that helps.

Yes, it is working fine for me.

Just install lenny, install the xen stuff, add etch to your sources.list and use
the kernel from stable. This should get the dom0 up and running.

For the domu''s, you can use the xen kernels from lenny.

I have 32 bit windows domu''s running fine on my x86_64 debian.

Kindest regards,

Peter.

yes, it''s all up and running with lenny. First i used
  deb http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/waldi/xen-extra all 
main
for my dom0 kernel. But i had to compile kernel modules and the kernel-headers 
package was not complete. So i took 
http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.2.0/linux-2.6.18-xen-3.2.0.tar.gz 
for compiling my own kernel with the kernel config from 
2.6.18-xen-3.1-2-amd64.
The default gcc-4.3 doesn''t work correct for me (my dom0 reboots
shortly after
the system comes up) so i used gcc-4.1, which is also in lenny.
If you don''t plan to use 32 bit PV domU you can also use the etch dom0
kernel.

I didn''t checked ioemu because i don''t plan to use it.
