Hi Mark,



First of all, thanks for the suggestion of giving Squeeze a try with the install
package.  WAY easier and not only did it install, it actually boots into a Xen
kernel!  :)  Might not sound like much of an accomplishment to others, but
it''s light years ahead of where I''ve been stuck.  I did an
install of Squeeze RC1 with the base system only and then used apt-get to
install ssh and then xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 (I didn''t
install xen-qemu-dm-4.0 because my processor doesn''t support hardware
virtualization; part of why I chose Xen over KVM).  It all worked like a charm.
No errors on install and the reboot brought me into a Xen kernel with no errors.



Now, I''m hoping you or someone on the list can help me with a new
difficulty.  I can''t get xend to start.  I''ve researched
several of what looked like key phrases in the error output, but most of the
similar errors are either several years old and relate to Xen 3 and, for one
reason or another, don''t look applicable to my circumstances OR are
rooted in not having a Xen kernel started up which I have confirmed I have.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot based upon the output
below?  I have looked through dmesg, messages and kern.log (the /var/log/xen
directory is empty as is /var/log/pycentral.log) and I can''t seem to
find anything that stands out.

--------------
Check your mounts, and see if /proc/xen is mounted, if not execute the line
below

#echo ''none /proc/xen xenfs defaults 0 0'' >> /etc/fstab

---------------
to setup your xen init scripts

#dpkg-reconfigure xen-utils-common


-----------
While xend is in your path, you want to start xend via init scripts

#/etc/init.d/xend restart
