Hi,

 >>IMHO, why U want to run  VB in dom0?

I want to have the choice to run either a DomU or a Virtual machine. For 
example from reading the forum entries about using Windows in a HVM DomU 
it's not yet ready for production usage. But Windows works okay in a 
qemu VirtualMachine or in a VirtualBox Machine.


 >>may be try HVM in domU

Unfortunately not all CPUs/PCs support  HVM yet. For example all my 
current machines for testing xVM/Xen do not support HVM.

regards

Bernd
