I have Dell Latitude D820 with T2400 Core Duo and works without
problems. Dell had (or has) some problems with custumers in China, where
it sold Latitude notebooks with T2x00E CPU's without Intel VT (suffix E).
VT must be enabled in BIOS (POST behavior / virtualization or so).

I think, that `vmx' flag is Intel VT.
I installed and activated OEM Windows XP from Dell into LVM without problem.
My box is Debian Sarge, but I have my kernel with unstable xen hg10868.
bobek:~# uname -a
Linux bobek 2.6.16xen-hg10868 #1 SMP Wed Aug 30 14:31:38 CEST 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
Networking setup is NAT & I run DHCP server myself to configure domUs.
Notebook can be offline or on different networks, so local segment & NAT is ok
for this.
I'm using notebook network autoconfiguration with guessnet (i had problems with
laptop-net & xen). Guessnet uses information from
/etc/network/interfaces and so compatibility with ifupdown is better
(xen scripts magicks with network interfaces uses ifup & ifdown).
I have one static bridge in /etc/network/interfaces:
auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet static
address 172.31.0.128
broadcast 172.31.0.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
# bridge_ports dummy0
bridge_ports none
In dhcpd configuration file /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf:
subnet 172.31.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 172.31.0.128;
option broadcast-address 172.31.0.255;
range 172.31.0.1 172.31.0.127;
}
In /etc/default/dhcp3-server, there is no specific interface for
listenning on, but maybe xenbr0 can be ok.
There are uncomented network options in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp:
(network-script network-nat)
(vif-script vif-nat)
