Status ------ I can get Ubuntu to boot on the patched 2.6.10 kernel however :- a) I get several boot errors thus :- Linux version 2.6.11.10-xen0 (root@gateway) (gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)) #1 Thu Jun 9 19:58:00 BST 2005 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 000000000927c000 (usable) 146MB LOWMEM available.
