Marcel:

Do you have domain definitions in:

/var/lib/xend/domains

Shutdown the xend.

Edit

/var/lib/xend/domains/<UUID>/config.sxp


Add these two lines to the domain definition:

     (on_xend_start start)
     (on_xend_stop shutdown)

Make sure that "xend" and "xendomains" start automatically in your "init.d".


By the way, I also have these actions in my config.sxp and can't 
remember if these were the default values after virt-install or not.

    (actions_after_crash restart)
     (actions_after_shutdown destroy)
     (actions_after_reboot restart)


Let me know how it goes for you.
