Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Fedora 6 DomU creation problem
Henning, 

Thanks for the response.  I have pretty much straightened out some of my
problems.  I've been able to do several of the VM's without fail using
HVM.  My goal now is to see how much I can get converted over to
paravirtualized.  The problem is I have a slew of Dual processor Dell's
with lots of ram that aren't VT enabled and very few machines that are.

In the long run this shouldn't be a problem though.  I think some of the
current problem is misunderstanding of how the entire xen thing works.
:)

Gary
