[Martin Polehla <polous@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I were looking for some informations about XEN on dell site, but I didn't found 
anythink usefull. 

But on:
  http://www.xensource.com/community/xen30testing/summary.php
I found that dell poweredge 2850 passed tests, and also ouput from xen test cd 
looks good (all tests OK, kernel on xen test CD says vme support 
(/proc/cpuinfo) etc.

I was progessing as dell howto saying, but no succes :-(

Have anyone xen with virtual windowsXP guest under linux xine host running ?

any suggesntions ?

thanks
