Yes i know the difference between XL and XM toolstacks and have been using Xen 4.2-unstable with XL since the beginning of my Xen journey. As i mentioned before, i never had this issue with a previous Xen 4.2 person as i mentioned it, HOWEVER i have messed around with XCP and different version of Xen on this Debian before, SO very likely i forgot to remove or uninstall something between changes, just trying to figure out how to make it stop asking me to force anything. I was checking to make sure XEND was stopped by running "*sudo /etc/init.d/xend stop*" and i get an error message as below: *Traceback (most recent call last): file "usr/sbin/xen", line 36, in from xen.xend.server import SrvDaemon ImportError: No module named xen.xend.server* WHICH also happens to be the exact same message i have been getting every time i shut down Dom0 for quite a while now and been meaning to ask about that. Once i run "*sudo update-rc.d xend stop*" than i am able to run "*sudo xl create*" without the FORCE option, but once i reboot the system, it comes back and have to run the "*sudo update-rc.d xend stop*" all over again. SO wondering how to disable xend from loading at boot time? Or just get rid of whatever remnants floating around that is interfering with things.
