I tested it with openSuSE 11.4 and the kernel-xen shipped with it and a sles11sp2 guest. paging works in that combination, I did a fresh installation in the guest and went half way through it. The cfg is below, in case it matters. Its possible that a pvops kernel in host or guest triggers some issues. Thanks anyway for doing that work, Andres!
