Thank you.  I wasn't clear about that.  I apt-get installed
linux-xen0-2.6 but didn't realize after this the need to manually
install the .deb in /usr/src.  I was expecting a debconf dialog with
information and neglected to see the output message.  I will keep
plugging away at this and let you know my results.  By the way, I am
installing this on an HP Proliant DL380 with a Compaq 5i SCSI RAID
controller and if we get this working it will be the first time I've
seen Xen run on this platform.
