RE: Help booting Xen under RHEL6 beta2

[Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com>]

Slightly more progress.  I discovered xenstored is not running...
so I did:

# modprobe xen-evtchn
# xenstored
# xenconsoled
# /etc/init.d/xend start

but xend fails to start with the same messages (ending
in "Connection refused").
