I have a busybox-based (though using glibc right now) initrd which you can use for your unprivileged domains. You can download it from http://www.diku.dk/~jacobg/self-migration/ > I am looking to create a minimal dom0 image that simply controls the > creation and loading of new domains, and that allows migration to occur. I am working on exactly the same thing, though I am using self-migration in XenLinux rather than the managed migration in Xen. I am already able to migrate to a minimal Xen-host (the network-facing privileged code is about 50 lines of C, there is not even a TCP/IP stack running), and I am currenly working on being able to create new domains using the same mechanism (almost there). I am currently on Xen 1.3, because the current Xend is too resource-hungry and complex for my needs. I am crossing my fingers for someone to implement the basics of Xend in C, and when that happens I plan to move to Xen 2.0. Input and cooperation is welcomed.
