Thanx, I didn't know I should check those:
So, it seems I do hve XEN 4.0.1 then:

xen_major              : 4
xen_minor              : 0
xen_extra              : .1
xen_caps               : xen-3.0-x86_64 xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32
hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64

Thanx, those exist:

newusaxen:~# dpkg -S pygrub
xen-utils-4.0: /usr/lib/xen-4.0/lib/python/pygrub-0.3.egg-info
xen-utils-4.0: /usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/pygrub


But, how do I get Debian to use pygrub?


I use CloudMin to setup the VM's but it gives me the following error:

Creating virtual system with Xen ..
.. creation failed : Kernel loading with PyGrub or Pv-Grub was
requested, but neither were found on



So somehow it doesn't see it.

Is there anything special I need todo to get XEN to see pygrub?
