Or are those lines no longer required in the newer xen, just the kernel inside the domU? On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 7:56 PM, John T.

I have a Debian xen server on an amd64 platform. It would seem that I should be able to also install or force the install of a non-xen i486 kernel. When I recieved this server it had a manufacturer's install of Etch with an i486 kernel. Once I have both kernels installed in dom0, can't I just boot the server off the xen-amd64 kernel, and build a para-virtualized debian domU, referencing the i486 kernel in /boot ? Not sure the best way to go about it and any tips are appreciated!
