thanks,


That depends on if you are running the guest OS in paravirtualized mode, or fully virtulized mode.

Paravirtulized mode, the guest OS has to have the kernel-xen kernel. The guest then knows that it is virtulized and is able to do much more and is overall faster.

Fully virtulized mode, the guest OS doesn't know it is virtulized and can run whatever kernel it wants. But if you do an install and tell it to do virtulization, you then have a guest trying to be a host (domain 0), which is probrubly not what you want.
