To summarise - RHEL/Centos seem quite happy(!) on the xen 2.6.18 kernel whilst backporting drivers; others have forward ported Xen. I've had all kinds of weird crap happen with Debian/Ubuntu. Fedora Core has been trying to forward port stuff too and integrate it all into the paravirt ops framework so I think their dom0 support has been busted until very recently. I'll dump this into the Wiki when I get time. >> I had trouble with my recentish intel desktop motherboard(s) - I had >> to boot the installer and normal kernel with 'acpi=3Doff' but -not- boot >> Xen with that. > > Which board model(s)? =A0I've just installed Solaris on a DP35DP with Q66= 00 > core-2 duo and 8GB RAM. =A0Works nice (except for USB-legacy making the > keyboard useless during boot). I don't recall off-hand; I'll look at my documentation later and put it in the Wiki. adrian
