Xen PV domU kernel in Intrepid?

Hi,

I need to run Intrepid Xen domUs on a Debian Etch+backports dom0.
Hardy -xen kernel works fine as domU, but there is no -xen kernel in
Intrepid.

I have read:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2008-September/003020.html

and see that Xen should be in the standard kernel package now. But
when I attempt to boot it via pygrub I get this:

Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_find_loader: no loader found\n')

This suggests to me that it is not a paravirtualised Xen kernel.  If
I install the Hardy -xen kernel in this Intrepid domU then it boots
fine.

So does anyone know what needs to be done to boot Intrepid kernels
in a PV Xen domU using pygrub?

Cheers,
Andy
