Software: Debian Testing (etch), Xen 3.0.3, Windows XP SP2.

   I installed Xen from the source available in the main Xen mercurial
repository. The kernel for my dom0 was built using "make mkpatches" in
the Xen source directory, and applying the resulting patch to the
relevant linux kernel tree. My only problems have been (a) a failed
attempt at installing an earlier version of Xen had left behind a copy
of the qemu-dm, which meant that I couldn't boot a domain at all, and
(b) an ongoing problem with the networking scripts (see my posts to
this list for details -- it shouldn't stop you from installing Windows
in the first place, though).

   Hugo.
