Hi, I'm working on getting xen installed on a VT enabled system and 
running into some pretty frustrating problems. I clone and build the vtx 
mercurial tree (http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/xen-vtx-unstable.hg), 
get it installed without any problems, and after rebooting into the new 
kernel everything is fine through 'xend start' and 'xm list' showing 
domain 0 working as intended. However when I attempt to start up a guest 
domain (I'm using the sarge.img image file recommended on the wiki 
page), both that process and any successive "xm list" hang until given a 
ctrl+c, and then spit out something which closely resembles this:


ckanich@xenonvt:~$ sudo xm create /etc/xen/xmexample.vmx
Using config file "/etc/xen/xmexample.vmx".
VNC= 1
Unexpected error: exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt

Please report to xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Any suggestions as to what might be happening? I've tried this both in a 
  dhcp environment and with a static IP for the xen host, and nothing I 
try even gives me a different error message.
Thanks for any help possible,
