Now = I >think I'll try my luck again with kernel 3.0 and your guide to see = if >I can get it to boot this time... :) Glad to be of help. Two notes of caution, though: 1. I forgot to specify that memory allocation (VMSPLIT) *must* be 3G/1G (3G = for userspace, 1G for kernelspace). If not, the VM would mysteriously = refuse to start -- without any error messages. 2. I truly have no idea if my method works for 3.0. It's been tested = thoroughlt with 2.6, though (to be precise: 2.6.38 and 2.6.39). I am still = hesitant to use 3.0 because I saw people reporting bugs where a program is = hard-coded to require kernel=3D=3D2.6 (instead of requiring kernel>=3D2.6). = IMO, it's not yet safe to tread the 3.0 waters. At least for another month. = (As usual, YMMV) That said, feel free to point out errors. And if you fail/succeed, please = do tell me. Happy paravirtualizing! :) Rgds, -- FdS Pandu E Poluan ~ IT Optimizer ~ Sent from Nokia E72-1
