Xen 3.0.3 with kernel 2.4.31

Xen 3.0.3 with kernel 2.4.31

[Claes Lindblom]

I'm currently using Xen 3.0.3 on Slamd64 11.0 (Slackware 64-bit) on a
motherboard Asus A8N-VM with an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice cpu.
Since there's no support for virtualization on AMD with hvmloader, I
would like to boot a guest domain running a
2.4.31 kernel. Host domain is a 2.6.16.29-xen kernel. All guest domains
with this 2.6.16.29-xenU/0 works just fine.

When I build the kernel for Xen 2 with 2.4.30 and try to start it in Xen
3.0.3 I get the following message:

Using config file "/etc/xen/testdomain".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

Using builder='hvm' and the 2.4.30-xenU kernel I get this message.

Using config file "/etc/xen/monowall".
Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your
CPU and enabled in your BIOS?

How can I boot a guest domain with 2.4.31 kernel?
I would like to run IPCop or m0n0wall in a guest domain.

You can download a xenified CentOS3.8 2.4.21-47.EL kernel from the
xensource downloads page.

Is there any way or to get the xen-patch that works for a pure 2.4.21
kernel?
The patch in kernel-2.4.21-47.EL.xs10.src.rpm seems to be contaminated
with redhat patches.
I tried to apply the patch for xen but it fails completely.
