Re: [Xen-devel] Xen not booting on debian

["Mark A. Williamson" <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

VMWare works (subject to the odd quirk) but I've not heard positive or 
negative reports with VirtualPC.

You could try QEmu (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/), which I have had 
running Xen successfully.  It'll be slower than VPC but you may find you have 
more luck.  You might be able to shoehorn the VPC disk image in there, 
depending on its format and / or whether you can find a format converter...

HTH,
