Is there a problem by using the kernel use to boot up the system (Dom0) ?
If I understand, you mean that I have to use a kernel dedicated to
boot all DomU ! Why, is there some limitation by using this kernel
(Dom0) for running VM ?

Ok, but I want first, understand how Xen works, and then, i'll get
theses files. I prefer to learn by getting rid of theses problem
before, its a godd formation i think. And i tought too, it's more
quick to use ready-to-use Xen images files.


Thanks for your time :)
