For some weird reason, when you set up a DomU who runs Debian 5.0 (aka Lenny) and then boot it up, it just freezes out trying to get crond up. I’ve been google but I can’t realize what generates this error or “freezing”.

But… (there’s always a but) I know how to solve it! Just add this line to your DomU .cfg file:

extra = 'console=hvc0 xencons=tty'

An then run it again. I said “run it”, not “restart it”. I mean xm drestoy <id> && xm create file.cfg -c
