Thanks! :)

Excuse me for the late replay, but I had some problem with the kernel.

I've tried to pass extra = 'video=32,1280,1024' option in the config file
but no luck. Furthermore, the domU kernel, which is 2.6.37, seems to
not have that module.
So I downloaded the last vanilla kernel sources and I tried to compile that
module as built in.
I have reconfigured the kernel, but unfortunately, I had some problem during
the kernel compilation. I have to retry using a smaller configuration.

By the way: zypper info kernel-xen says that:
"This kernel can be used both as the domain0 ("xen0") and as an
unprivileged ("xenU") kernel."

but even installing it, I am not able to use it in order to boot the domU.

The problem is that if i try to compile a kernel inside the domU,
which is a modified
version (of the config file) of the kernel in /boot directory, I
always remain with no space
on the device (because of the huge quantity of the modules to be
compiled -  I know,
I should remove all the unused modules). So every time I'm not able to
install the
new domU kernel.

Sorry, I didn't know that.

OK

Here we go:

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 1024

shadow_memory = 8
name = "opensuse-11.4"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:21, bridge=xenbr0' ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
disk = [ 'file:/mnt/xen/vmstore/opensuse-11.4/opensuse-11.4.img,hda,w' ]

boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''
vnclisten="192.168.1.100"
stdvga=0
videoram=16
keymap="it"

serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'
extra = 'video=32,1280,1024'

Thank you,
