  Strange...

  OK.  Look at the file /usr/lib/xen-tools/debian.d/55-create-dev.

  Inside it there are these lines:

  #
  #  Make the device nodes.
  #
  cd ${prefix}/dev
  ./MAKEDEV generic


  After that add './MAKEDEV std' and try to create a new domain.  If
 that works please let me know and I'll commit it to CVS.

  (The hosts I've created on my Debian Xen servers have /dev/u?random
 already - it might be an --arch=i386 thing ?)
