Yes, I did mean OpenSolaris, which I'm assuming will eventually make it back into mainline Solaris...

Trust me, it's not the only left that's not Xen aware. Anything with a
Linux 2.4 kernel, for example, is likely to require full virtualization.

 

Might I add, Solaris 10 on Linux Dom0. When you say Solaris is para-virtualized don't you mean OpenSolaris? I tried to get Solaris 10 to work in PV mode but failed miserably, but OpenSolaris works easily.
