Good news ... I'm able to boot the XEN0 kernel :D

I've made a few things :

- ReBuild a new kernel from freshly CVS sources
- add "nosmp" to the grub entry :

title Xen 2.0 / NetBSD ( XEN0.4 - RAM 64Mo )
   root(hd0,0)
   kernel (hd0,a)/xen.gz dom0_mem=65536
   module (hd0,a)/netbsd.XEN0.4 root=/dev/hda1 ro console=tty0

- I've disabled many motherboard feature : USB / IEEE1394 / COM / LPT / 
AUDIO
( Because I've found some posts over the internet reporting problems 
with my MotherBoard components )

:D

So now, I have to test Xen ...

I don't know if I'll be able to use the "dual-core" of my CPU ...

It's late, I'll see this tomorrow :D

Many Thanks Manuel for your help
