Xen in Hardy

[Todd Deshane]

For the network problem can you give the following command a shot:

ethtool -K eth0 tx off

I plan to spend as much time as I can in ##xen on freenode and also
#xen on irc.oftc.net to try to get some advice.

I would like to see a working system before hardy releases too :)
