I'm having the same problem, so now I'm trying to install xen from
sources. Looking at James answer, I need to ask about amd64 kernel
version, because I have this architecture and I would like to use HVM.
Did you install this kernel from packages or compiled yourself? I'm
still trying without success to start using xen on my debian amd64
(stable version). When I try to compile xen I'm getting the following
error

ejg@amd64x2:/usr/src/xen/xen-3.2-testing.hg$ make dist
make -C xen install

Any help would be appreciated,
