Hang-on, you mean the Linux 2.4.22 kernel is only finding one
CPU? I though an early message said it was OK SMP i.e. 'top'
shows 5 CPUs etc.

If 2.4.22 does work, please can you try compiling up a 2.4.20 to
see if that breaks. (there's a 2.4.16 on the *1.0* version of the
demoCD.)

If we can find the most recent version that fails to work, that
will give us a clue as to what we're missing.

Having the Xen boot output will helpful too. Has this machine got
builtin-in remote console facilities that you could cut and paste
from instead of setting up a serial line?

Cheers,
Ian
