Hi - hoping someone can help with this. I''m relatively new to Xen but do have a working VM. It''s a simple config which I created using xen-create-image. The system I''m using is a single CPU Opteron (model 1214) & 4GB RAM running Debian (lenny) with the Debian etch xen packages and from what I can tell all seems to work fine. The problem comes in when I try to run a Debian 386 VM on 64-bit Xen system - although I modified the example cfg (xmexample.hvm) file that was part of the xen-utils-common package, as a template, I''m having no luck - see below. I''m still not too clear on the different models that Xen supports so I could be wrong on my approach. Once I have solved this I''ll attempt a WinXP VM :-) thanks Raz. xend.og ...

I was misleading myself and the list. I did that using vbox, not xen. I use both systems: vbox on my desktop and xen on servers and I forgot I did it on the desktop not the server.
