There shouldn't be a limit, but maybe some version of Xen/Linux had one.

What version of Xen/LInux are you using?

Are you stuck at that version of Xen/Linux or can you use a newer version?

I've had more 16 guest running on Ubuntu 8.04 + Xen from packages.

I'll be running some scalability tests on Xen 3.3 + Linux 2.6.27 soon,
so feel free to ping me for the results if they would be useful to you.

Cheers,
Todd
