No special Xen kernels required for the domU. Or, even better, faster, and easier, if you have the hardware, is to run KVM instead of Xen. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

However, I''m told/I''ve read that it would be extremely slow, and one would be better off using normal QEmu with the kQEmu accelerator module. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
