Er.. Just wish it is coming soon. NVIDIA and ATi proprietary drivers do not support xen kernel. If a trunk or generic kernel is built in xen pv_ops support, when users switch from normal mode to booting xen kernel, X server will not boot. Though we know a user who sets up a xen server is not a Linux newbies, the result makes user uncomfortable. It looks an uneasy problem.
Linus has released kernel-2.6.37-rc1. I read the changelog. Some Xen pvops patch has merged into upstream kernel. Waiting Debian to push 2.6.37-rc1 to experimental and test it for Xen.
