You have to do it the "hard" way (copy the kernel/miniroot to linux fs
and boot them directly from Xen, but I think its possible in linux
dom0's without all the fancy new stuff.

Hi Mark,
I am trying to do this on a desktop. I was hoping that since Xen
seems to be more intimately tied into the kernel
it would give me better performance than VMWare and VBox which only
add drivers to speed up things.
Any particular reason why Xen is not recommended for desktop
environments ?

Hi,
I want to run Opensolaris as a domU on my linux box (ubuntu
9.04). Is this possible and if yes, will it offer better
performance than VirtualBox and VMware. BTW, I don't want to
change distros, so it should be doable with Ubuntu.
What problem are you trying to solve?
If you are running it in a desktop environment,
you should use vbox.
If this is a headless server and you want good MP
performance and close to metal performance on
>= 1G NICs, you should use PV guests on Xen.
