I just ran "grep -iR "/etc/sysconfig" in /usr/src/xen-4.0.0 and there
were several files containing that path:

/usr/src/xen-4.0.0# grep -iR "/etc/sysconfig" *
dist/install/etc/xen/scripts/xen-network-common.sh: first_file -f
/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd /etc/defaults/dhcp /etc/default/dhcp3-server
docs/src/user.tex:\path{/etc/sysconfig/mouse} to contain the lines:
docs/src/user.tex:\texttt{/etc/sysconfig/networking}. Vnets work anyway,
but performance can be reduced
docs/misc/network_setup.txt:In the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
directory it is necccessary to create
docs/misc/network_setup.txt:# echo "-I FORWARD -m physdev
--physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT" > /etc/sysconfig/iptables-forward-bridged
docs/misc/network_setup.txt:# lokkit
--custom-rules=ipv4:filter:/etc/sysconfig/iptables-forward-bridged
(...)

As far as I remember, once you modified the 2 init scripts xend and xendomains, you're done: only these 2 scripts try to find /etc/sysconfig only.

For example, xen-network-common.sh you also mentionned will use the first file (function first_file) that can be found in various locations, including /etc/default.

Finally, if you're installing a production-ready dom0, I don't think you want to install documentation ;-)

Another "last question": The Kernel 2.6.32-bpo.4-xen-686 does not seem
to have the pci backend drivers compiled in, so I am not able to pass
the pci devices "thru". Do you now of any precompiled debian kernels
which work with xen 4.0?
I don't exactly know as I do not use PCI passtrough. But I just saw Mark's answer.

That make me think I'll have to upgrade to Squeeze ;-)

Regards,
JB
