How does that compare to 32bit full virtualized domU running under
64bit dom0? There must be some perfomance loss because of the 32bit
emulation with 64bit kernel...

I cannot make my 32bit centos5 dom0 kernel to see all memory in my
machine for some reason, so I'm thinking all these other options as I
need a 32bit domU. Your option seems interesting as I would not have
to ditch the centos rpm packaged xen. Do you know if the redhat/centos
xen kernel has 32bit emulation enabled?

Peter
