[Xen-devel] can't start domains

[James Harper <JamesH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i've just set up xen on a new machine and now get an error when trying to start a domain. It goes like this:

 

op_create> Exception creating domain:

Error: Error creating domain: int argument required

it got to be something i haven't installed... maybe it's too late at night... any ideas?
