That did not work either.

Fetching file:///tmp/vmlinuz
Fetching file:///tmp/initrd.gz
command line is "debian-installer/exit/always_halt=true -- quiet
console=hvc0"
Error: Kernel image does not exist: /tmp/vmlinuz

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I get the following error
message.
$ sudo xm create /tmp/squeeze.cfg
Using config file "/tmp/squeeze.cfg".
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!
$ ls -l /usr/bin/pygrub
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2010-06-15 10:51 /usr/bin/pygrub ->
/usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub
xen-utils-3.2-1: /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub
$ dpkg -l xen-utils-3.2-1
ii xen-utils-3.2- 3.2.1-2 XEN administrative tools
But reading [1] and your comment before I commented the bootloader line
too.
$ grep vmlinuz /tmp/squeeze.cfg
kernel = "/tmp/vmlinuz"
$ sudo xm create /tmp/squeeze.cfg
Using config file "/tmp/squeeze.cfg".
Error: Kernel image does not exist: /tmp/vmlinuz
Do you have any idea? This is with the daily Debian Installer files from
[2].
