The domU will use 100% CPU and just hangs forever as it seems (destroyed it after 5 min). The previous 0.9.6 seemed to be pretty stable, no lockups or whatsoever (and I'd already liked it's HD performance!) So not sure what's going wrong here, but in the meantime I get back to 0.9.6 (or I'll might also test 0.9.7 to clear things up). Joost
