Should work - what version of Xen were you using?

That's pretty weird - when did you try this?  If it was a while ago, it could 
have been before Xen OSes could support SMP internally (Xen itself has always 
supported balancing multiple UP guests over several CPUs).

It really *should* work on the unstable tree now, since it's in pre-release 
stabilisation.  Can you try again with the latest unstable?  If it doesn't 
work, now would be a good time to let us know ;-)

We want Xen 3.0 to support the vast majority of x86 and x86_64 machines.  We 
should run on almost anything native Linux works on.

Cheers,
Mark
