Do we talk about the same release?

# uname -sr ; cat /etc/debian_version
Linux 2.6.18-3-xen-686
4.0

The kernels are there (even after apt-get update):

# apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686 | awk
'{print $1}'
linux-headers-2.6.18-3-xen-686
linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686

And this is my sources.list, just in case:

deb http://security.debian.or
g/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian
.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free

Those are the packages i have installed that have xen in
their names:

# dpkg -l | grep xen | awk '{print $2, $3}'
libc6-xen 2.3.6.ds1-10
libdivxencore0 5.0.1-1
linux-headers-2.6.18-3-xen 2.6.18-7
linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686 2.6.18-7
linux-modules-2.6.18-3-xen-686 2.6.18-7
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386 3.0.3-0-2
xen-linux-system-2.6.18-3-xen-686 2.6.18-7
xen-tools 2.8-2
xen-utils-3.0.3-1 3.0.3-0-2
xen-utils-common 3.0.3-0-2

I believe it's all a question of the right hypervisor:

# apt-cache search xen-hypervisor | awk '{print $1}'
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386
xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-i386-pae

Good luck .
