Re: [Xen-users] VM won't start

[Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi here,

This list is mainly for the open source version of Xen.  You're welcome to ask 
questions about Citrix/XenSource products here but it's likely that people 
won't know much about the commercial codebase.  You may be better off asking 
questions at http://forums.xensource.com, which is dedicated to the 
commercial products.

FWIW the domain is crashing immediately for some reason, which is often a 
simple configuration fix.  I'm not personally familiar with the product but 
hopefully the forums will get you sorted out soon.

Cheers,
Mark

Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
