Well, I'm trying to use this laptop as a testing machine and also trying to make the most out of the laptop. I already tried 2.6.32 forward patches from Novell, but they have a problem with audio (or pulseaudio has a problem with the patches... :P) Apart from this memory issue, pv-ops it's the one that runs the best (and  it is running really great!). Also I was trying to avoid using an older kernel like XCP, because I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on dom0 and I wanted to deviate as little as possible from the base ubuntu kernel (2.6.32).
