Sorry, got my dom's backwards here.

Hi All,

i've read that a xen domU running amd64 can host i386 dom0 clients.  This is really useful for me so I decided to give it a shot.

I'm running Debian lenny, I grabbed linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686_2.6.26-25_i386.deb  linux-modules-2.6.26-2-xen-686_2.6.26-25_i386.deb and used dpkg -i --force-architecture to get them installed.

I used xen-create-image with --arch=i386 to build the dom0, this completes fine, I get the following on the console while booting the dom0

I can provide more on request.

Any help is appreciated, I couldn't find much documentation on doing the above so I might write something up if there is a solution.

Kind regards
Derek
