That's what I'm fearing as well. What if the Xen kernel crashes. In this 
case I'd still need to drive out to the DC - which I don't quite want. I 
guess I'll just exclude the normal kernel from the updates as you 
suggest. P.S. Do you know if one could set a backup / fail-safe kernel 
in grub, which can automatically boot if thew default kernel gives problems?
