Hi,
After the discussions of the last week about the topic of dom0 support, 
and being fairly sure there is no working solution in any distribution, 
I've been shown a working dom0 with Ubuntu, with 2.6.24-20.

I actually did not believe this would work, and stated I'd not believe 
it until seeing it - and I saw it some minutes later, Ubuntu 7.10 
booting dom0 with 2.6.24-20.

No idea what patches they use - a port of XenLinux, or a vanilla kernel 
with pv_ops fixed to work, but it might be a way to take whatever they 
do and base dom0 support for lenny on it?!

Henning (trying to investigate this over this weekend...)
