I have three machines with Squeeze installed and I would like to know a step
by step method for installing Xen. I tried installing it on the stable
version, but for some reason, Xen was having trouble with my controller
(serveraid-7k). Could someone post the steps?

If there is a way I would like to know it as well. I think for some
reason xen has been postoponed and there are a few packages still
missing from squeeze (xen-linux-system-*). I noticed they are in sid though.

Could someone provide me with the information to get the sid packages? I
know it is a line you have to add to the /etc/sources.list file, but I am
not sure what the line should look like. Also, if I get those in there,
which packages do I install and then do I just reboot and it gets loaded or
what?

You have to be careful not to get more packages than those you want
installed from sid. For this reason you use apt_preferences.

man apt_preferences

In /etc/apt/preferences:

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -1

This tells apt(itude) that by default it should not install any packages
from unstable.
Then for each package you want to installed from unstable you add before
the above the lines

Package: the_package_i_want_installed
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500

or something like this. Of course you have to add an appropriate deb
line to /etc/apt/sources.list for sid. I believe xen-linux-system is in
etch-backports as well.

Unfortunately I can't help here.
