Xen on Squeeze won't start

Hi,

We've been running Xen on Lenny for some time and it's worked great, but
with a new server and some older Xen kernel issues around acpi we're trying
the newer version on Squeeze.

So, I did a base install of Squeeze alpha 1, then apt-get install
xen-linux-system-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 xen-tools. After adjusting the Grub 2
boot menu (installing the Xen kernel doesn't put it at the top of the boot
menu, so by default Grub booted into the 'trunk' kernel) the server rebooted
into the Xen kernel (uname -r gives 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64) and yet xend won't
start! Running xm create... I get "Error: Unable to connect to xend: No
such file or directory. Is xend running?". Trying to start via /etc/init.d
I get nothing!

I've seen the close bug report (
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...i?bugX0500) where someone seems
to have the same error as me, I also have "Booting paravirtualized kernel on
bare hardware" in kern.log, and Bastian says it's user error, but doesn't
explain how that's user error!?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Steve
