Yep that is 100% correct.
I was operating on the assumption most people would have access to VT/AMD-V enabled hardware these days. I will make the point that is not required more clear in that document as I get it more polished.
Thankyou for your feedback!
If you need any help don't hesitate to ping me. :)

Sadly My IBM 336 servers I want to try it on does not seem to have
virtualization in Bios as your document requires.
I will see if there is maybe a Bios update that will add it.
But,  what kind of performance hit is expected if I run it without bios
support for  VT ?
I therefore have to use para-virtualization.
Your document seems to suggest (but do not mention) that PV would be
fine for unmodified Linux guest but that any other operating system
needs be modified.
Is that correct?

Hi,

Because of this I have started documenting the process here ready for inclusion in the wiki when I can find the time to complete it:
https://docs.google.com/a/orionvm.com.au/document/d/1q9odKP8Id26J8kHCAFt8aD5krXdUiZnZGw1Q-LGWCJg/edit?hl=en_US

This guide covers basic Xen concepts along with a functional install, PV guests and Windows HVM example setup.
