has anyone had any luck in getting the hypervisor kernel to boot as a

Is it even *fair* to expect that to work? Surely the Xen hypervisor

AFAIK the whole idea of virtual machines originated with something, I
think cp, on some models of IBM System/360. In System/370 it became VM
(and the core of it remains cp) and has had more-or-less that name ever
since.
One of the important features of VM is that it's self-hosting: one can
run VM under VM (ad nauseum).
All VM requires is unfettered access to the virtual hardware.
It might be, I'm not expert in this, that for self-hosting (or hosting
under VMware) of Xen to work (ow work well) it will need virtualisation
capabilities to be released by Intel and AMD in the near future.
