I tried several combination of kernels and Xens before this and none of them worked. I have managed to get one virtual machine running but I can not say that I am impressed: - xm reboot kills xend-service - xm shutdown causes xm list to blurt out errors at the first invocation - xend start causes errors from xend script itself that are network related... - you can easily shoot to your leg with memory. Just tried to squeeze dom0 memory to minimum setting, forgot doing that and started a kernel build on domain 0 to just freeze the whole shebang. Too little memory on dom1 will cause your virtual machine halt and again causes xm to blurt out errors at the first invocation afterwards. It can also take out xend-service with it. But I'm still testing...
