Re: [Xen-users] Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

[Bryan Brown <kasper22@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ashutosh,

I've been suffering the same problems for the last week.  After building 
everything from source it is now working like a charm.
here are a few sources that helped me out:
http://www.nabble.com/Compiling-Xen-3.1.0-src-on-Debian-AMD64-Machine-t4271223.html
 - list of packages add gettext to that list
http://wiki.kartbuilding.net/index.php/Xen_Source_and_Compiling - another list 
of packages to use as refernce
http://www.howtoforge.com/xen_3.0_ubuntu_dapper_drake - dated but a few little 
nuggets (depmod and mkinitramfs)

hopefully that will help you on your path to xen.  Make sure if you have any 
Ubuntu packages install you purge them, as they may end up
causing problems if left in place.
