Hello

In my last attempt, i used skipmodule=true to skip the modules error, 
but now i have the first error again (stat .... no such file or 
directory), even if i change the server flavour to support Dom0 
operations and build it with debian/rules binary-server.
Please help me as this is urgend and i don't know who to ask otherwise.
