Hi all,

Before I tear out what little hair I have left, has anyone managed to get Gutsy
running in paravirt on F8?  If so, please could you tell me how?  (In short,
simple sentences :-)

I've tried just about everything, from installing it under KVM/QEMU and cutting the
partitions out, to downloading xen images and nothing works properly - even if I 
run using the ubuntu supplied kernels.  The downloaded from xensource kernels sort
of work, until I try supplying an initrd to get consoles and things like that working
and then the vm just sits there, eating up CPU.  The ubuntu xen kernels also just
boot to a particular point and stop - also eating CPU.  Logs/dmesg available on
request.

Unfortunately, some people at work without much taste ;-} have decided they need
to use ubuntu, and I have no wish to change my OS while labbing this stuff.

TIA

Cheers! (Relax...have a homebrew)

THEOREM: VI is perfect.
PROOF: VI in roman numerals is 6.  The natural numbers < 6 which divide 6 are
1, 2, and 3. 1+2+3 = 6.  So 6 is a perfect number.  Therefore, VI is perfect.
