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
