Please, submit outputs :-

# uname  -a

# xm info

# brctl show

#losetup -a

and profile cos52.cfg

It should work, if everything is tuned well.

I am running 2.6.24-22-xen kernel.  It has been a while since I installed this 
and I have tried so many things that I can't remember how I installed it
but
I do have backports in my sources.list:

deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/ hardy-backports main restricted universe
multiverse

Anyhow, I did try booting 2.6.24-22 and 3.2 xen but I got:

# xm create cos52.cfg -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/cos52.cfg".
Error: (38, 'Function not implemented')

Thank you,
David
