On the basis of your experience, Martin, I gave up trying to get Xen  
working on Lenny and switched to Etch.  I followed the instructions  
at http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_xen_from_debian_repository  
and got it working first try.

I sincerely hope that the lack of Xen support in Lenny is a temporary  
thing that will be fixed before the first Beta release.  Does anybody  
know what's the problem?

Thanks all,

Rick
