Hi Todd.


Performed following test but failed;

  We're trying to configure an installation of hardy in
 /vserver - but there is no hook directory for us to use.

  This means we don't know how to configure this installation.

  We'd expect the hook directory to be : /usr/lib/xen-tools/hardy.d

  Aborting.
