Thread-topic: [Xen-users] can't run Debian guest
Here is the partition table:

Virtual disk 1 (xvda) - 21.0 GB Xen Virtual Block Device
> #1 primary    20.1 GB B       F  ext3         /
> #5 logical     902.8 MB       F  swap

This is the default setup created by the installation-wizard.

>From a quick glance, it's probably because your Debian uses ext4, in
which case I see you might have several options:
- make SURE Debian's /boot is ext3 (NOT ext4)
- upgrade your Xen version, possibly from Gitco (since
http://www.xen.org/download/ is stiill dead)
- search list archive for a self-contained pygrub with ext4 support
