solved - RE: can't create any more pv-on-hvm domains...

["James Harper" <james.harper@bendigoit.com.au>]

Well... it's working now.

I upgraded all the non-xen related packages that I could think of (my system is mostly lenny but some packages were still etch), and noticed that /etc/init.d/xend appeared to still be owned by a Debian xen package I had missed earlier. Deleting that also blew away my xend-config.sxp file.

Once I put all of that back together it suddenly worked properly. I would like to find out the cause though, for future reference, so I'll do a bit of digging and see if putting the original /etc/init.d/xend back causes the problem to reoccur etc. Comparing that with the one from Etch it doesn't look much different...

Thanks for all the assistance!

James
