Looks like not all the xen kernel config options are enabled in the
config-2.6.27-7-generic

it has:
CONFIG_NETXEN_NIC=m
CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK=y
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST=y

Which is missing:

CONFIG_XEN=y
CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=32
CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE=y
CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_KBDDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_XEN_SCRUB_PAGES=y

CONFIG_HVC_DRIVER=y
CONFIG_HVC_IRQ=y
CONFIG_HVC_XEN=y

So enabling those and recompiling should work.

Is the server kernel different? Maybe it has the XEN options enabled?
Something that you could check.


Cheers,
Todd
