        V balickovom repozitari Debianu Etch sa nachadzaju 3 verzie XEN jadier:
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------
        a/ s podporou PAE (xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-686)
        b/ bez podpory PAE (linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen)
        c/ XEN + vserver ()

        PAE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

        When installing the XEN kernel, take care that the right kernel is installed.
        Ak sa nainstaluje zla verzia jadra, system vobec nenabehne a skonci s chybovou hlaskou:
        'Mismatch between Xen and DOM0 kernel'

        a/ Install XEN-PAE (tested)
        ---------------------------
        Although PAE is meant for systems with more than 4 GB of memory we use this kernel, since
        the standard Debian kernel is PAE, and using a non-PAE XEN kernel caused a mismatch.

        # apt-get install xen-linux-system-2.6.18-5-xen-686
        # apt-get install libc6-xen
        # init 6

        Problem 1 - booting the system with the XEN kernel produced a great many of these messages
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        '4gb seg fixup, process sshd (pid 1162), cs:ip 73:008d8cfc'
        'printk: 185714 messages suppressed.'

        Riesenie1 - nainstalujeme XEN GLIBC (libc6-xen)
        -----------------------------------------------
        # apt-get install libc6-xen

        b/ Install XEN bez PAE
        ----------------------
        For a XEN kernel without PAE support these packages have to be installed separately:
        - linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen kernel
        - xen-utils
        - xen-hypervisor

        c/ Install XEN + vserver
        ------------------------
        Kedze nechceme mat v systeme bordel, nebudeme mixovat virtualizacne nastroje a tak toto
        jadro nebudeme pouzivat.

        # apt-get install bridge-utils

        # nano /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
        -------------------------------
