I'm trying to set a Xen VM on a SunFire X4200. I'm using Debian Wheezy and have followed this guide https://wiki.debian.org/Xen which I used in previous attempts on different servers and worked without any problem. I know a different server of same model already hosts some xen VMs, so I can't understand why this is not working for me
xm create xxx.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/xxx.cfg".
Error: Creating domain failed: name=xxx
Here is my xxx.cfg:
# Configuration file for the Xen instance xxx, created
# by xen-tools 4.3.1 on Fri Jun 20 00:51:12 2014.
#
#
# Kernel + memory size
#
kernel = '/boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64'
ramdisk = '/boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64'
vcpus = '1'
memory = '2048'
#
# Disk device(s).
#
root = '/dev/xvda2 ro'
disk = [
'phy:/dev/xen-vol/xxx-disk,xvda2,w',
'phy/dev/xen-vol/xxx-swap,xvda1,w',
]
#
# Physical volumes

#
# Hostname

name = 'xxx'

#
dhcp = 'dhcp'
vif = [ 'mac=***,bridge=xenbr0' ]
#
# Behaviour
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
In the image creation log, everything seems to be ok, except for:
mv: cannot stat '/tmp/Wtd9_3apX5/sbin/initctl': No such file or directory
The xend.log reports an ERROR:

Any hints?
