You can use this command to create a lenny guest. This is some simpler way.


xen-create-image --hostname=lenny-guest --size=7Gb --swap=1Gb \--ip=xx.xx.xx.xx --netmask=255.255.254.0 --gateway=xx.xx.xx.xx \--dir=/home/xen \--debootstrap --dist=lenny --mirror=http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ --passwd


You can get some more help from this link

Looks like this is a very old bug, and somebody said it was gone. But I
still can see it at the sid/lenny/squeeze.

my dom0 is CentOS 5.3

# uname -a
Linux jzhu.cn.corp.sa 2.6.18-128.el5xen #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 11:12:42 EST 2009
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I wonder if anybody has ever installed debian domU successfully?
