Yes Simon, I think you are right.  The others were saying pretty much  
the same thing too.  According to the wiki (4 or 5 years ago), using  
the domU kernel was the way to do this.  We were actually instructed  
to do so in that resource.  Even though it may be a more bloated  
kernel, I liked the simplicity of the idea.  I just went with what I  
knew from there... the new wiki doesn't say not to, and the machine I  
updated the other day didn't have these same problems that my server  
did yesterday, so I wasn't sure what was causing what.
Thanks.
