xen-devel

Re: [Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Scrubbing free ram

ok so it works fine with exactly the same kernel but booting without xen?
Verifying to see if its build in, could be done by looking for the appropiate 
.config file for your kernel version in /boot/
And doing something like

cat .config-2.6.x | grep SKY2
