Re: [Xen-users] debian install

[Imre Oolberg <imre@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo!

I can from my experience suggest using latest stable debian e.g. 'etch' 
and all software comes from official release repositories. Its not 
latest and greatest Xen but its maintained by Debian. I put together 
little text based different sources from internet on, it is not in 
english but the examples may be of use

But main thing to notice on AMD64 with Debian is to have in 
xend-config.sxp line (or it was at least for me on smp hp dl 385 
computer unstable i.e. rebooted itself)
# In SMP system, dom0 will use dom0-cpus # of CPUS
# If dom0-cpus = 0, dom0 will take all cpus available
(dom0-cpus 1)

I cant complain, runs stable and performs good for me.
