Re: [Xen-users] Xen binary distrib's kernel as domU kernel

["Luke S. Crawford" <lsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Running the same kernel in dom0 and domU should not be a problem;  the 
DomU kernel runs with DomU privlige levels, so it shouldn't matter that it 
is the same kernel with the same drivers as the Dom0.  the only downside 
is the extra kernel size represented by the unused Dom0 code and other 
non-module drivers.
