How that? Besides the fact that Lenny isn't released and thus formally unstable,
Xen 3.3. is only available as xen-hypervisor-unstable in sid (Debian unstable).

Is it what you used or have I overlooked something? What kernel do you use?

BR,
Carsten.

I'm using Debian 5 Lenny. I've found that it installs Xen 3.3 directly
from the repos, which is very convenient. Doesn't get any simpler (aside
from a specific XEN distro, akin to KnoppMyth or FreeNAS). No issues so
far, but on the other hand - I haven't exercised it thoroughly.
