[Xen-users] Xen on Pentium M laptop?

[Ken Mandelberg <km@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to run Xen on a ubuntu 8.04 desktop release on a laptop. I would 
like to boot to Dom0 runing my normal gnome desktop, and from there 
start guest DomU's as needed. Is this possible?
The laptop uses a 2GHZ Pentium M, and has 2GB of ram. /proc/cpuinfo says 
it has PAE, though I don't know if thats really relevant with 2GB of 
ram. There are no serial ports.
I tried the instructions

"Installing Xen On An Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) Server" at

http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-8.04-server-install-xen-from-ubuntu-repositories

I haven't gotten as far as adding a guest, I'm stuck on the reboot with 
the Xen kernel.
When I boot, Xen seems to be going OK, and tells me its giving up the 
VGA. A little time goes on and then the VGA screen clears, after which 
there is no response to the keyboard or anything more on the screen.
The laptop does in fact answer pings, and in fact accepts ssh 
connections. However, the ssh connections just hang with no response.
I get the same behavior if I substitute "console=vga" for "console=ttyx" 
on the grub kernel params. Again, the laptop has no serial port.
Is what I want possible?
