Do you have 2.6.14? You could build based on linux-2.6-xen.hg, but this
hasn't has s much testing (we know of at least on issue on x86_64)

It's possible that the install scripts should delete the database when
performing an upgrade. I don't think there have been any format changes
in a while, though.

Yep, no real way round that. Most users are already trained to this
thanks to it being a compile time option in Linux.

Having a debug/verbose build of xen is sometimes handy for debugging
things, but since debug builds are deliberatly combatitive its probably
not a good idea for production.
