I don't either when I run the non-xen kernel. I started running that
kernel to try to get VMWare installed (I have a P4 and need VMWare to run
virtual Windows, can't do the hardware Xen) and the error went away. Do
you run the standard kernel?

Yeah. I tried installing the compat libs, which is what the web site for
that extension says may be necessary, but it still doesn't work. :(

I was. But as soon as I switched to the non-Xen kernel it stopped. Odd.
