These search terms have led me here twice from Google for something that isn’t described in your article at all. Way to go. Stop poisoning the internets and remove that crap.

Please, remove all search engine terms used to reach this page/post. It turns mad people searching things they won’t find on this post (or even this entire site)!

great step by step — thanks

I made one mistake on the directions — bad networking setup
possibly want to mention that if you get the network error
Error: …. Backend device not found.
in addition to the steps you provided
the user may need to edit /etc/xen/yourservername.cfg to fix networking error

Hello HCVST

Yes, Indeed – It is very recommended to use the nearest possible Debian mirror for the Debian bootstrapper.

Thank you. It worked right away.

Note to users:
Consider changing the debootstrap mirror in /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf
to a server close to you. Check /etc/apt/sources.list

“This weekend I deployed my first server based on the upcoming Debian Etch and Xen.”

What do you mean by “upcoming”? Debian 4.0 ‘Etch’ was released on the 8th of May 2007. Next upcoming Debian release is called Lenny.

Thank you – excellent article.

Note, during installation you need to create
/home/xen
directory.

If not – creation of loop images will fail
and start of virtual machine will fail with message

Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

Also I have to configure interface eth0 with static address – otherwise network was unreachable.
