Well, the main problem is that testing installs 2.6.24-xen and does not
have any of the 2.6.18-xen strain of kernels. The problem is 2.6.24
cannot boot as Dom0. So to get Testing to work one has to know to look
in the stable tree, retrieve 2.6.18-xen and use it as Dom0. In
aptitude, at least, it would not let me even see 2.6.18-xen unless I
told it to look only at stable.
However, the rest of my problems I cannot say with certainty have
anything to do with the testing version. I mean once I knew to pull the
kernel from stable to get Dom0 working and did only that on my laptop it
worked.
However^2, last night I purged all the Xen packages from my
router/server box. I then got the list of Xen packages installed on the
laptop and installed only those packages on my router/server box.
Booting into Dom0 with the configuration I had and only one ethernet
device setup resulted in my IP showing up on xenbr1. *sigh*
