Thank you.  That was what I was guessing from the fact that it seemed to
be working without.

Sorry about that.  Yes, it is a 3.something -- let me look if I can --
Xentop reports Xen 3.0.2-3, if we can believe that.

There is a temporary failure with the domU kernel ( actually the initrd
is missing ) from upstream, so I am using the dom0 kernel for both.  I
have been fighting this for a couple of weeks or more, and am finally
seeing some interesting results.

I do not seem to be able to use more than one "partition" for a domU, is
that normal?  I tried to separate /, /usr, /var, and /home, but nothing
worked until I finally combined everything and used that.

As I reported a couple of hours ago, I have been finally been able to
get a domU to respond as a DNS server.  I had another ( dummy ) domU
running at the same time, so am feeling more confident about combining
and replacine all of my existing ( or almost all ) servers -- mail, DNS,
DHCP, HTTP(S), and possibly database.
