Hi Todd

Thank you for the detailed information. I need to / want to run a 
CentOS5.1 x64 host, and then run 32bit Linux and FreeBSD, Windows guests 
on it. I've followed / tried to follow the examples on the Wiki with 
very little success, the only guest installation I've managed to get 
working is CentOS 5.1 x64, the 32bit versions gave me some errors to 
setup, so someone suggested I upgrade Xen to 3.2 (which I have no luck 
with either) and use some of the pre-build images on jailtime.org.
I realize 3.2 is very new / fresh, but I would really like to get this 
kind of setup working
