Hello again. So we're back to work :-)

Deciced to test what other things could be stopping a kernel later than 
2.6.12.6 to run on my system. So I downloaded and compiled xen-unstable 
and xen-3.0-testing.
xen-3.0-testing didn't produce any better results than the 3.0 release. 
But after installing xen-unstable, I at least could boot a 2.6.15 
kernel. And that with memory = 11
:-D

But... xen-unstable isn't named unstable for nothing. I'm not sure if 
this is a good way to acheive our goals. I don't feel too comfortable 
putting a snapshot on a CD for our "release product" :-/
Anyways. We're just about to put the xen-unstable on the CDROM image 
together with a 2.6.12.6 dom0 kernel and the new, stripped, 2.6.15 domU 
kernel. Doing so, the project will at least move forward and we can 
continue testing and probably make a beta. Some problems will just have 
to be solved as they appear ;-)
Thanks for your help so far, it has been good tutorial.

Best regards
Rickard Borgmäster
