Thanks for confirming.

Is this a regression? I haven't tried w2k often, put rendering the boot
screen using VGA emulation has always been very painful. We have the
buffered vga write patch in place, but I've never done any profiling of
it to check its working as intended. Have you seen this run better in
the past? Things are fine once we're booted.

Alistair is looking at the feasibility of limiting the allowed
parallelism during domain create. We can't really change the interface
and allow xm to return "too busy", so we'll just have to queue create
requests for admission.

Thanks,
Ian
