For some reason the DomU didn't mount root if ACPI was disabled in the Xen configuration (acpi=0). The whole setup was pretty stable and fast. I've measured a network throughput (using a RTL8139+ virtual interface, ioemu, 100Mbit/s Fast Ethernet) of 94-96 Mbit/s between Dom0 and DomU. The clock source also seems to be stable. You can find my configuration and some dmesg output here[1]. If anyone is interested in following my work, feel free to contact me by E-Mail or by answering here. Regards, Sylwester
