something missing?

Otherwise its going completely smooth, except an initial problem mounting swap that was resolved by rebooting, as described in another thread.
I've got the following and more running, Linode 80:
java 1.5/tomcat 5.5 embedded
nagios
postfix
bind9
apache2
postgresql 8
openvpn
nfs
Seems very fast. We don't have the IO limits right? And is this host a quad opteron?

There aren't IO limits persay, just different priorities on disk access that I can modify for each Linode (actually each virtual device).
The host is dual opteron. Your seeing four virtual CPUs inside the node.

Also just outta curiosity, since we're on opterons, any 64 bit kernel support?

Nothing in /proc, other than a few simple values in /proc/xen/. Works both ways. With UML I could view files in /proc, like /proc/swaps -- one of the more useful methods of detecting badly behaving nodes.
As for 64 bit kernels, probably not for a long time. Xen only allows one type of xenU kernels per host -- so they'd all have to be 64 bit. It would also create a pool of boxes that only other 64 bit users could migrate to/from.
They have stated that in the future, running a 64 bit Xen hypervisor would be possible that would support both PAE and 64bit guests. So, it is a possibility.

@Xan:
Forgive my ignorance, but I thought it was possible to run your userland 32-bits even with a 64-bit kernel. Couldn't our current system images run on 64-bit Xen without much tweaking?
This is definitely possible when running a 64 bit Linux kernel on an AMD64 bit chip. Whether it's possible for a situation like Xen I'm not sure as I believe this facility is actually provided by the chip rather than the kernel itself.
