1.You can install a lot of PV DomUs i guess via two pygrub profiles,
first one to install DomU, second one to load DomU, for guests having
distros on DVDs with xen-inified or pv_ops (DomU) enabled kernel.
It works fine, through my experience. Details here:-
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/112300/index.html
F10 has been tested.
2. For Ubuntu( or Debian) DomUs "debootstrap port" to your Xen Unstable
Dom0 will allow straight forward installations. I prefer trick with HVM
image prebuilt for corresponding PV DomU pygrub's profile at Xen 3.3.X Dom0s. However, now i learned debootstrap (debian tool) and liked it very much ;). Details here:-
http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/114465/index.html
Ubuntu Intrepid Server (64 bit) has been tested
3. You can try to install OpenSolaris 2008/11 or Solaris Nevada
PV DomU on ZFS. That's really tuff. Pygrub won't help you to
read Sun's the most recent ZFS images.

Is there anything more I can do to help debug this problem? I am eager
to do more testing with pv_ops and I have time to do it at the moment,
but hvm support is currently broken so there is little I can do with
my test box.
Thx
