[9fans] Xen Installation

[Jonny Morrill]

Hello,

I am completely new to plan9. I heard about it when I took a tour of a
supercomputer cluster that was running a hybrid version of plan9 and linux.
I am very interested in getting a system up and running to try it out. I
have a home suse server running the latest version, 10.3. I would like to
install plan9 as a virtual machine with xen. I ran through the tutorial
located 
here.
However, when i tried to create the Domain i got this error:

coruscant:/usr/xen9 # xm create plan9inst -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/vm/plan9inst".
Error: Invalid event handling mode: shutdown


Here is my xm info output:

Thanks alot for the suggestions! You guys are on top of things here I can
see. It's nice to have a strong community to help out with the details of a
new system. I'm looking forward to seeing how well plan9 works!

Cheers,
