BTW, what exactly is xenstore-utils? [...]
Utilities for accessing the xenstore. If you don't know what the xenstore is then you don't need to know what the xenstore is :)
the first rule of xenstore is don't talk about xenstore?
Xenstore is a key/value tree that stores information about the Domains. The xenstore service runs in Dom0 and the DomU's access it via the xenbus communications inter-domain ring. If xenstore isn't working then xend won't start and nothing much will work. xenstore-ls will dump the entire tree if you want to have a look at the sorts of things that are stored there. James
