Install
Within XenServer Create a new VM using the "Other Install Media".
Choose an Ubuntu amd64 ISO, i386 ISO's don't seem to work.
NOTE: XenServer 5.5 doesn't support booting from the ext4 file system! During the install process make sure to format the / partition as ext3 or create a separate /boot partition formatted as ext3 so that XenServer can access the boot images.
Make sure to enable OpenSSH either during the install or upon first boot.
After the install is finished, boot the new VM.
If you didn't enable SSH access during install, now is the time to do it:
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Modifications to the Guest OS
We need to create console for Xen, the easiest way to do this is to copy tty1.conf to hvc0.conf
Duplicate /etc/init/tty1.conf
cd /etc/init sudo cp tty1.conf hvc0.conf
Do an inline find and replace with sed
sudo sed -i 's/tty1/hvc0/g' hvc0.conf
