You may have to hack /usr/local/sbin/xe-update-guest-attrs near the bottom to provide a MinorVersion and/or MicroVersion higher than the default to get the hypervisor to accept it as recent enough. For example under a 6.0.2 environment you could try: xenstore_write_cached "attr/PVAddons/MajorVersion" "6" xenstore_write_cached "attr/PVAddons/MinorVersion" "0" xenstore_write_cached "attr/PVAddons/MicroVersion" "99" Once you enable and run /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xenguest you should be in business.
