Ok, there are some very bad problems going on with smp on 2.0.6.

I boot xen 2.0.6, linux 2.6.11.9, with nosmp and noht on the xen line.  I can
run a gunzip | bzip2 -9, on a 5g file, no problems.

I reboot with smp(2 real cpus, 4 virtual).  I get an error as *soon* as I log
in, like this:

This system is a xenU instance.

Booting a cd is tricky; the box is in california, while I'm in texas.  And the
client in california is 40 minutes away from the colo.

I can try doing something thru the ilo.  I can remote-mount the cd(fetching it
with bittorrent now to the machine's neighbor on the lan).  Does the cd do
graphical stuff?  I'd have to disable that for the remote console to work.
