* xl, compat mode, and older kernels
   owner: ?
   Many older 32-bit PV kernels that can run on a 64-bit hypervisor with
   xend do not work when started with xl.  The following work-around seems to
   work:
     xl create -p lightning.cfg
     xenstore-write /local/domain/$(xl domid
lightning)/device/vbd/51713/protocol x86_32-abi
     xl unpause lightning
   This node is normally written by the guest kernel, but for older kernels
   seems not to be.  xend must have a work-around; port this work-around to xl.
I played with Xend several years ago, I can try to have a look at this.

Quick question, anyone has kernel image that's needs this workaround?

The original thread that started this is here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/258488?do=post_view_threaded

It mentioned using Debian etch's built-in 2.6.16.33-xen kernel.
