They are definitely the same version as I cloned only xen-4.0-testing and built/installed both on the test machine itself. > Are you limiting the memory for dom0?

I have always booted dom0 with 256M on this box, but I guess more recent gnome tools are much more bloated so that accounts for the swapping and slowness. > It is > also probably worth booting direct to run level 3 (add 3 to the boot > line) to so you can eliminate whether or not graphics is an issue. Yes, I did that. This skips the graphics looping but xend still fails to start (and I can no longer VNC to the box... fortunately it is a laptop at least). Thanks, Dan
