If you are using Lenny, then you should do: cd /usr/lib ln -s /etc/alternatives/xen-default xen otherwise hvm VMs wont work. I have submit a bug report in the debian BTS about it, it set to RC (release critical, just to make sure that this is fixed for Lenny), but the maintainer said it was not so critical and have set the bug as only "important"... Some other same abnormalities in Debian: the python files in /usr/lib/python/xen are NOT accessible in the python path unless you do: cd /usr/lib/python-support ln -s /usr/lib/xen/lib/python xen otherwise, any import of the xen python lib will work in python. Now, the maintainer replied to my bug report that I was being stupid to consider importing anything, and the bug has been set to "wont fix"... I will still try to build a patch for the debian packages and push for their inclusion (as well as adding a /etc/xen/auto folder that is not created by default in Debian). Another particularity: the xen bridge used is named eth0. I don't understand this choice as using a xenbrX seems to be quite a reasonable "standard" in Xen. Making it with a different name means that any userland script for the general audience of Xen users concerning the Xen bridge will need adaptation...
