I've tested F14 DomU (kernel vmlinuz-2.6.37-0.1.rc1.git8.xendom0.fc14.x86_64) as NFS client and Xen 4.0.1 F14 Dom0 (kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32.25-172.xendom0.fc14.x86_64) as NFS server . Copied 700 MB ISO images from NFS folder at Dom0 to DomU and scp'ed them back to Dom0. During about 30 - 40 min DomU ran pretty stable , regardless kernel crash as "unable to handle page request" was reported once by F14 DomU, but it didn't actually crash DomU. Same excersises with replacement F14 by Ubuntu 10.04 Server results DomU crash in about several minutes. Dom0's instances dual boot on same development box ( Q9500,ASUS P5Q3,8GB)

Boris.

Well, just the bare-bone boot of PV guests with nothing fancy ought to work.

But that is the theory and ..

.. as Bruce experiences this is not the case. Hmm..
