I'm glad you got your problem resolved, and that it wasn't really a BackupEDGE issue.
FYI, before your email last night, there is not a case from you in our support files since #30136 in May re: downloading, and nothing in my personal mailbox.

Do you have a case number from our support system? You have my curiosity up.

Current BackupEDGE builds in the 02.0x series and the 03.0x series understand Xen kernels. No action needs to be taken.

After wading through the init.edge.err file again, found the issue was not
executing ldconfig.  Am remote to the server so was only su and sbin was not
in the path.  Sorted that out and installed OK!

Xen is installed and running, but install worked (or seemed to?) OK as
above.  See how it goes.

Thanks for the ideas Mark.
