The host cpu type is "Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5520  @ 2.27GHz" (x86_64).

What should I specify in "cpuid=" in the config file? I tried the following:

cpuid = [ '0xb:ebx=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx0000000000000000' ]

Is that correct?

However, it did not have any effect. I do not see any mention of it in
xend.log. Maybe the version of Xen packaged with CentOS 5.4 not support the
cpuid config option.
