I installed Debian Squeeze 6.0 on a server and am now trying to install Xen 4.1.0 on it (compiled from source, since the packages don't include Remus support).
Here are the steps I did to install it and get around several errors.

1) Installed Debian Squeeze 6.0 with default options and software RAID 1
2) Installed the dom0 kernel for Debian as shown at http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels
3) Rebooted into the kernel and made sure it was running:
Linux node1 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Thu May 19 01:16:47 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

4) Installed the requirements for compiling:
apt-get install zlib1g-dev python-dev libncurses-dev uuid-dev python-dev libncurses-dev libssl-dev xorg-dev uuid-dev build-essential gcc g++ gettext bcc iasl latex2rtf-doc gcc g++ build-essential 

5) Downloaded the 4.1.0 source, untarred it and ran "make world"
6) No errors except a warning about latex for documentation, so I ran "make install"
7) Rebooted again

At first, when running "xm list", I received this error:
