Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your help. With this command I still get into the
"blktap kernel module not installed"

I'm using xen 4.1.1 compiled from source with a kernel 3.0.0-rc5 dom0 
(compiled with all xen stuff enabled).
Is there missing xen modules in the new kernel ? I try to use most 
recent xen enabled kernel. Is there a 2.3.29
xenfified kernel around ?

Thanks again,
Sébastien
