Instead of Debian I used the Ubuntu 5.10 that accepted the SATA-HDD with
the pre-compiled Xen 3.0.1-packages from Xen-source, now you can try the
6.06 with Xen 3.0.2 what should work too.

Is there any reason to use the x64-version of Linux?

The systems I had where equipped with two Xeons (dual-core, AM64T, HT,
VT) and 4GB of RAM so after several problems with the x64-verisons I
decided to use the i386-version for testing which was much more stable.

BTW: Finaly (that means with the latest Versions) I had very good
results with SuSE Linux 10.1 and SLES 10 Beta and the integrated Xen
3.0.2 - at least on Intel-VT-systems.

Hopefully the prices for the small systems with AM2 Athlon X2-processors
will fall so I'll get such a system for testing-purpose!
