Todd,
Just run
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686
It will resolve the dependency problem and install the linux-image with
Xen support for you.
I'm running Xen with Debian with (almost) no problems for a while, the
only critical problem that I had is a machine that just rebooted after
492 days running with no reason at all... but if it happens every 492
days, I can leave with that.
Regards,
Fábio Catunda.

I don't have personal experience with Lenny, perhaps the xen-users list does.
I see Debian does have kernels:

Anybody running Xen + Dom0 kernel successfully on Lenny?
See Jonathan's question below.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,
I have installed Debian Lenny, and followed some of the instructions at:
http://wiki.debian.org/Xen
Specifically:
Install Lenny. Finish the installation as you would normally do
apt-get install install xen
apt-get install xen-utils
apt-get install xen-tools
I am stumped about what to do at step 5
install a xen dom0-capable kernel
I downloaded the image from:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-686/download
specifically:
http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/l/linux-2.6/xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-686_2.6.26-25lenny1_i386.deb
But I do not know how to install it.
I tried dpkg -i, but it reports unsatisfied dependencies.
I tried to follow down all the dependencies, but don't really know how.
So, that is where I am now stuck.
Can you recommend next steps for me?

Hi Todd,
Thank you for your fast response.
Debian Lenny was my first candidate.
I installed it (many hours)
then acquired and compiled xen
and then booted to that kernel
and that was the attempt that led to
xend failing for lack of some resource.
I will try it again, given your advice but
I fear I will waste another many hours
and end up with no better results.
A little bit of steering by you
would make a huge difference to me.

Hi list readers,
I am an experienced developer with only nominal configuration talent.
These days, mostly I use ubuntu linux, but have used Debian, WhiteBox,
CentOS, RH, Fedora.
I have been using Sun VirtualBox to very great effect and hope for
better
performance
by installing and using xen.
I also intend to use Dom0 exclusively as a host, and not install any
other
packages.
Instead, I expect to do all my development and package downloads onto
guest
machines.
I wish to do a fresh install of a xen linux onto a brand new 1TB disk
on my
IBM Thinkpad T61 laptop.
My intention is to generate file-based virtual machines that I can copy
to
make new instances.
I am expecting to use HVM rather than paravirtualization and files
instead
of logical volumes.
So far, I have tried it three times, once with Debian Lenny, and twice
with
ubuntu Maverick Meerkat.
Every time I encounter show-stopper problems during compiles or xend
crash
on execution.
I do not know if I have identified a solid recipe to follow, or whether
my
choices are bad.
What I request is start to finish step by step instructions (preferably
onto
ubuntu or Debian).
I am willing to back off on the Dom0 OS to an earlier ubuntu or Debian.
All I want is to generate a solid baseline xen system that is as
reliable
and simple as possible.
I will start from scratch with a clean disk, if I can only get
instructions
that lead to a working host.
Please help by providing a single complete clean instruction list to
achieve
this.
These links might help.

Post questions if you get stuck on anything. ##xen on freenode is also
a place to ask questions.
Hope that helps.
