I'd rather not have to compile patched kernels, yet.
no idea whether they are in the default xen builds, but at least for the
m2n-e in front of me...

The SATA control wants CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV
and the LAN wants CONFIG_FORCEDETH

Wish I had known it was that simple, would have made my install go a _lot_
faster.

  Thanks for the info.  Are these kernel build parameters or xen?  If not
default xen builds, what version of the kernel are you running?


Which motherboard did you end using? I'm in the middle of building a M2N-E system and I'm curious whether there are specific BIOS versions that need to be used.

OTOH, the Xen test CD from Aug 2006 seems to be working, but I'm not done running the tests.
