Xen users - Jan 2009 - Xen/Linux on Macbook Pro

I would like to run a Linux dom0 on a new Macbook Pro using the bootcamp 
dual boot feature. I searched the archives of these lists and the net  
and only came up with a few messages/articles that date from a couple of 
years ago, and it seemed that the state of Xen/Linux on a Macbook was 
unresolved.

If anyone has successfully achieved this I would appreciate learning the 
steps. Ideally there would be a DVD image somewhere would "just work" 
when installed.

Thanks
Mick Jordan

I have Xen (booting via GRUB) on my Macbook Air, but I do not have Mac OSX,
I completely wipe out OSX... But there is only one issue that I can''t
solve:
Every boot needs to be done via Ubuntu Server CD and on SysLinux, I select
"Booting from first harddisk" to see GRUB.

 I''m sure you can use rEFIt instead of Boot Camp to access
GRUB''s menu and
then start Xen...

Good luck!
Thiago

I am currently using rEFIt to boot OSX, Red Hat 5 or Fedora on my 
Macbook Pro.  Not doing anything with Xen, although I''ve installed the 
Xen kernels.  Not enough play time right now.

You almost there! Just install Xen, a Linux with dom0 support and configure
your GRUB...
