I'm back after being unsubscribed after a month or so, and I have to
say I'm already frustrated by a continuing theme (or themes). Xen is
not a "package", per se, it is more of an *operating* *system*, and
installing from source is not something to go into lightly. Did you
really need to?

I see so many times, in open source communities, notably on this list,
where some straightforward methods could have saved time for the
poster, and the ensuing responder(s).

Sorry to be so blunt mid-thread. It just seems odd for it to have
gotten to this point. For example, an error early on (not currently in
front of me :-) about missing file during boot could be a fairly
common problem referencing xen files with "/boot" in grub.conf - do
other previous entries have it? No - grub these days typically
references the /boot partition directly, so the context is
/filename....
