So, Ubuntu's not had a xen kernel since 8.04 (a year). If installing the one from Hardy works, then why is this not packaged as the default?
There is an expectation that installing ubuntu-xen-server will result in a working xen setup. By leaving broken dependencies (no xen kernel, and python2.5 missing) ubuntu is surprising it's users unecessarily.
There are two paths to fix this:
1) fix the dependencies
or
2) remove the ubuntu-xen-server package completely and the broken promise it represents.
Right now, I've got a choice of going back to 8.04 LTS where there are other very old bugs like
#235773 Virt-install fails on Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop Dom0 (amd64)
awaiting attention, or to try and cobble something together in Jaunty. I'd rather put my efforts towards supporting the new release I think.
Who's working on this, and can I get involved? I need it fixed and I'm willing to help.
This is the lack of a Xen kernel again:
