Is anyone here playing with Xen, and care to compare notes?



I've been dealing with VMware to run SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 for legacy software, and for various reasons it's making me unhappy.

I've got serious experience with Xen, but don't have a host with full virtualizaton capable hardware that I can test ideas on. Is anyone out there running a recent version of Xen on anything and care to try to get an install working?

See, installing Xen 5.0.6 on VMware seems to require using the 5.0.7 boot floppy image and manually installing BusLogic SCSI adapter drivers. But the Xen setup tools don't include options for setting this up from the command line, and I'm short of time to take my VMWare server down and experiment.
