Thanks for posting that link / document. I've probably come across everyone
of those issues at one point or another in working with Xen. Trouble is that
like most of the team working on Xen in Fedora, I'm now soo familiar with 
code that the solutions/workarounds are second nature - thus it is not always 
obvious to us which areas needs more work / better documentation. So feedback
like this is always invaluable :-)

Some of the technical issues will be addressed in new Xen 3.0.4  and/or
Fedora 7 - the 'Error -22 Invalid argument' message in particular has been 
banished! Others such as geetting suspend / resume / power management working
with Xen are pretty much intractable for now - KVM is the best hope in that
area, since Linux is the hypervisor for KVM, all existing stuff like that 
should just work. When working on the documentation / release notes we'll 
also try to cover many more of the issues your doc has highlighted as unclear.

Regards,
Dan.
