As a general suggestion, would you advise amd64-current or i386-current
for a xen dom0 server with 6GB of RAM with HVM-aware cpu's to get the
best of a modern Intel C2D server? Core2duo 8200 is hvm aware and I
believe i386-cuurent is PAE capable also? There'd be little/no
performance impact from using HVM?
I tried amd64 dom0 last week on an E8200 and it didn't work well at all.
pmap crashes and floating point problems. I have the latest
bios/microcode updates and i386 seems to run well. Waiting for someone
else with E8200/E8400 problems to speak up before I send PRs ...
