Hello all,

I am currently running Ubuntu Gutsy AMD64 as my dom0 and planning to have the following domUs:

[1] Debian Etch AMD64

I already have this bootstrapped on an LVM partition but when I tried booting this domU, i got stucked on the following last 5 lines:

[2] CentOS 5 AMD64

Next in line... 

[3] MS Windows XP 32bit

This is not possible since I just found out that my processor is not HVM compatible.

My question are the following:

[1] Is it possible that for domU [1] and [2] (above) to use their own stock kernel and not using dom0's kernel?

This is not possible because I just found out that it requires an HVM processor.

[2] Any tips you can share on how to install different GNU/Linux distributions as the domUs?

Other tips for a para-virtualization setup using Xen-3.1 on Ubuntu Gutsy AMD64 dom0?

[3] Can I install MS Windows XP 32bit as domU even if my hardware is an AMD64 machine?

Again, this is not possible because I just found out that it requires an HVM processor.

[4] Can I make use of the CD-ROM drive, sound card and USB ports from the MS Windows XP 32bit domU?

And again, this is not possible because I just found out that it requires an HVM processor.

Please advice.

Thank you.

GNUbie
