I tried this but still have the same result I'm afraid.  In a chroot:

root at kahlua:/# dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ii  linux-image-2.6.27-7-server       2.6.27-7.15              Linux kernel image for version 2.6.27 on x86
ii  linux-image-server                2.6.27.7.11              Linux kernel image on Server Equipment.
root at kahlua:/# grep -v ^# /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
xenblk
xennet
root at kahlua:/# update-initramfs -v -u -k 2.6.27-7-server | grep xen
Adding module /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-server/kernel/drivers/block/xen-blkfront.ko
Adding module /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-server/kernel/drivers/net/xen-netfront.ko

But still exact same problem.

I have a feeling it's something more fundamental as I would have
though a kernel without xennet/xenblk would boot, just without
network or block devices.  I can't get it to boot at all, as if it
thinks it has no Xen capabilities at all.

Cheers,
Andy
