I have a similar machine with different xen version in another machine
and same thing works over there. This machine is giving me trouble.

Here are the packages in the problematic machine

--
[root@vm-ext1 init.d]# rpm -qa |grep xen
kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.el5
kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
xen-libs-3.0.3-64.el5_2.9
kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
xen-3.0.3-64.el5_2.9
[root@vm-ext1 init.d]#

--

uname -a returns: Linux vm-ext1 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Dec
16 12:26:32 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am totally confused.
