I don't understand what you mean by "dead". Does the dom0 hang?
No,
just the domU. It does nothing more once the "4gb seg fixup" start
spiting.

I've been running FC7's Xen here quite well with a Centos 5 guest
(amongst others). I haven't tried RHEL4 or Centos 4 as a guest though.
That is
my next step to test BUT I have a bunch of older Centos to
migrate so I would like to see them work on newer Xen version.
Thanks.
Rich.
