According to the dependencies for linux-image-server it depends on a package linux-image-generic-pae which installs the latest linux-generic-pae image. Are you running the linux-image-generic or the linux-image-generic-pae. If you see the grub menu at boot up, what images are displayed in the kernel list? Is the one you want at the top? I think either shift or space key displays grub if it is not shown as the system boots. There also seems to be separate packages for kernel running as a virtual guest, linux-image-virtual. Maybe that is a more appropriate image for running on Xen, I am afraid I dont know at present. -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com
