I have a server running Etch which has had a partial upgrade to Lenny
(eg xen and any other packages required to make it work, and any other
security updates along with the following), and it worked except for the
following:
. serial emulation is broken
. windows 2008 x32 doesn't work (crashes during install or shortly
after)

Both of those I have resolved by applying patches from xen upstream to
the Debian sources and rebuilding the xen packages.

It is running on an AMD Opteron, if that helps.
