Yes, it's a HVM domU. After checking
/var/log/xen/qemu-dm-genocide.log I got the following error:

newusaxen:~# tail -f /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-genocide.log
domid: 9
-c config qemu network with xen bridge for
tap9.0 xenbr0
bridge xenbr0 does not exist!
/etc/xen/scripts/qemu-ifup: could not launch network script
Could not initialize device 'tap'
^C




Some googl'ing suggest that Debian Squeeze doesn't use xenbr0 as
bridge anymore, but eth0 instead.


So I edit the genocide.cfg file and append the vif entry with
"bridge=eth0". So now it starts up, but I can't ping the VPS, nor can
it ping anything from within the VPS.




The instructions I followed are here: http://wiki.debian.org/Xen


And it's a bit unclear as to why there's no xenbr0 bridge device.


So now I need to figure out how to either add a xenbr0 bridge (the
tutorials I got so far are for Debian Lenny, so I don't know if
they'll work, and if it will break anything), or why networking
doesn't when using eth0 as a bridge.




Has anyone gone down the road yet?
What is the correct fix / approach to get HVM guests to have full networking?
