Following bellow are just the samples of tuning Novell's Kernel
to support Xen Dom0 and DomU at a time in order to setup
Ubuntu Intrepid Server Xen 3.3.0 Dom0. Intrepid Server PV DomU
is utilizing vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-server as pv_ops enabled kernel.

Indeed it does not... or rather just seemed to work once.
I'm afraid my knowledge of kernel configuration is poor
