If you parse the list archive, we discussed this. Unfortunately it won't work. Use a VT enabled system and HVM for Windows installs. Or a seperate server.

Hi,

it seems using vmware within XEN is the ultimate test for XEN. Unfortunately it
does not work (SLES10 on x86_64 (latest) with VMware Server 1.0.1):
