I have recently tested two systems which run Xen 3.0.3/Debian Etch or
Xen 3.0.3/Ubuntu 7.04 fine. This is with xen-modified kernels, not HVM
mode.

The two systems are both 2U units using:
1. Supermicro X7DBE with 2x2-core Xeon 5030, 3Ware 9650SE SATA-II;
2. Tyan Thunder h2000M S3992 with 2x2-core Opteron 2218, 3Ware 9650SE
SATA-II.

I'm still testing #2 with 3.0.4 and HVM guest domains with not much luck
so far.
