thanks, for your answer ... i was searching/googling for the wrong
phrase ... 

i can also approve that, Xen 2.05 works fine with WhiteboxEnterprise
Linux 4 (equals RH4) on VMWare GSX 3.1 and VMWare Workstation 5.0.
Configuration also worked fine with LVM Root.
On changing one Produktion Server to Xen VMs i encounterd another
usefull way of Xenusage as a side effect ... Honeypot
Started with a missconfiguration, ... got a Trojan, it soon pointed out
to be a very usefull by tracking criminal subjects by using Xen and
sudosh as a honeypot.

Kind Regards 
Michael Lang
Ps.: starting to get unstable running with WB4/EL4
