Most likely not got the correct set of modules built into the initrd.
Upstream Xensource configs have most things built statically into the
monolithic kernel. Fedora practice is to build everything as a module
whenever possible, so we do this on Xen kernels, as well as baremetal.
Or perhaps the Debian kernel utils aren't new enough to work on a
2.6.18 kernel ?

Finally, are there any SELinux AVC error messages in Dom0 logs ?
