Re: [Xen-users] Unmodified guests on Dell 380

["Serge Dubrouski" <sergeyfd@xxxxxxxxx>]

The only unmodified OS that I was able to install into DomU on Dell
380 is Windows XP. :-) All Linuxes (I tried FC4 and CentOS) hang at
the installation time or at the boot time after installation. Dom0 OS
is CentOS 4.3, Xen 3.0.2.
