Update ... I've just noticed the following message during startup:
Checking/updating CPU microcodeFATAL: Error inserting microcode (/lib/modules/2.6.13-15c-xen/kernel/arch/xen/i386/kernel/microcode.ko ): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Hi David, that means, that the "virtual" CPU cannot be patched. Its the same if you use a P4. In the "real" machine (no xen) the module loads and patches your cpu microcode, if you boot into xen you get the very same error even on a intel cpu. So don't worry about it.
... Does this mean the kernel modules are built for a Intel not AMD chip ? it's funny it works on my Celleron server and not my AMD Athlon XP board.
