Neither dig nor host are installed on my DomU-64 provided by Ovh. I
did #updatedb, then #locate host, and there is nothing in /usr/bin.
Dom0 however does have them installed by default.

Ok thanks.

You were partially right. It is actually in DomU/etc/hosts that one
should add the Dom0 address through which it connects to have blazing
fast ssh login prompt.

Thank you Felix.

Thanks Karsten, I already tried this option and we are almost there, I
do get the console, but it stops at:

[edited for brevity]
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem).
Freeing unused kernel memory: 240k freed
Adding 262136k swap on /dev/hda2.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:262136k
EXT3 FS on hda1, internal journal
[End]

Then I don't see any login prompt. There might again an issue in the
config file, it must be some parameter to add to sort things out. The
DomU is fully functionnal though, and I can still ssh into it.

Can someone provide me a working config file, so that I can pick bits
and pieces from it and do a lot of trial and error to nail the problem
down?
