Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, I not received the previous replies about it and I saw new git
repository only now.
From a fast look I saw that xendomains init update is missed, here I did
it and tested if can be useful:

Latest seabios 128k dropped xen support:

You can simply change in rules.real:
--with-system-seabios=/usr/share/seabios/bios-256k.bin

When I'll have time I'll help to test the new packages, thanks for your
works.
