Terii,

 Try do add this lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
#deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse]

 And, "aptitude update;aptitude dist-upgrade", you will got linux-2.6.24-21-xen and see if your problems go away.

 However, Ubuntu Xen Kernel is not officially supported by Xen.org, if you really want a stable Xen system, you must use a linux-2.6.18.8-xen from xen.org, until dom0 support merges to vanilla Linux at kernel.org.  ;-)

 To compile new xen-3.3.0 on your Ubuntu, you need:

aptitude install --without-recommends bcc bin86 build-essential comerr-dev debhelper defoma diffstat dpkg-dev fontconfig fontconfig-config g++ g++-4.2 gawk gettext ghostscript graphviz gs-common gsfonts html2text intltool-debian libc6-dev-i386 libc6-i386 libcairo2 libcupsimage2 libcupsys2 libcurl4-openssl-dev libdatrie0 libdrm2 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libgd2-noxpm libgl1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-glx libglib2.0-0 libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev libglu1-xorg-dev libgraphviz4 libgs8 libice6 libidn11-dev libjpeg62 libjpeg62-dev libkadm55 libkpathsea4 libkrb5-dev libldap2-dev libltdl3 libncurses5-dev libpango1.0-0 libpango1.0-common libpaper1 libpcre3 libpixman-1-0 libpng12-0 libpoppler2 libpthread-stubs0 libpthread-stubs0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsm6 libssl-dev libstdc++6-4.2-dev libthai-data libthai0 libtiff4 libtimedate-perl libvncserver-dev libvncserver0 libx11-6 libx11-data libx11-dev libxau-dev libxau6 libxaw7 libxcb-xlib0 libxcb-xlib0-dev libxcb1 libxcb1-dev libxdamage1 libxdmcp-dev libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxft2 libxml2-dev libxmu6 libxpm4 libxrender1 libxt6 libxxf86vm1 make mesa-common-dev mercurial patch pciutils-dev pkg-config po-debconf python-all python-all-dev python2.4 python2.4-dev python2.4-minimal quilt tex-common texinfo texlive-base texlive-base-bin texlive-common texlive-doc-base texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended transfig ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-core ttf-dejavu-extra x11-common x11proto-core-dev x11proto-input-dev x11proto-kb-dev xtrans-dev zlib1g-dev


 Now to run your compiled Xen-3.3, you need:

aptitude install --without-recommends binutils binutils-static bridge-utils debootstrap gcc gcc-4.2 libasound2 libbeecrypt6 libc6-dev libconfig-inifiles-perl libcurl3 libdirectfb-1.0-0 libexpect-perl libgomp1 libio-pty-perl libio-stty-perl libneon27 librpm4.4 libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2debian-alsa libterm-readline-gnu-perl libterm-size-perl libtext-template-perl libxml2 linux-libc-dev linux-restricted-modules-common nvidia-kernel-common perl-doc python-dev python2.5-dev rinse rpm screen sgml-base vnstat xen-shell xen-tools xfsprogs xml-core

 To finalize, tun this commands:

depmod -a 2.6.18.8-xen
update-initramfs -k 2.6.18.8-xen -c -u
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst # and configure your Xen options, like "nosmp" and "dom0_mem=512M", for example...
update-grub
update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20
reboot


 NOTE: If you use LVM, Ubuntu refuses to boot, dropping you to a (initramfs) promtp, all you need to do is:

lvm vgchange -ay
exit

 ...and your system will bootup normally.

 I don't know why Ubuntu has this BUG with self compiled kernels from Xen but, if anyone knows how to configure initramdisk to avoid this in each reboot, I will apreciate any info!   :-P

Good Luck!
Thiago
