I downloaded and ran the live CD from http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/LiveCD  which worked fine on a Lenovo,  Intel Core 2CPU 6300@xxxx GHz with 1GB of ram and 80 GB disk space. The next step was to recreate a working version on this machine.

The machine originally had CentOS 32bit installed, Xen from the distribution did not work.  I noticed that Xen on the LiveCD was based upon Debian (lenny), so I replaced the CentOS with lenny and applied the Xen from the distribution.  

xen-linux-system-2.6.26.2-xen - resulted in error when boot and xen kernel selected.
ERROR:
xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0xd0000000,0x80000) (Invalid argument)

Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.4.2-10.lenny2)
Current Operating System:        Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 #1

This was a disappointment as I was attempting to demonstrate ease of use/application and stand up  a small development environment based upon OpenSource products.

TIA - Scott M.
