I forgot to mention....
if you are interested you can safely run vmware on an openvz kernel.
Openvz is more like solaris zones/containers.
Cheers.

Guys,
you can't do this.
If you try and run vmware on a Xen kernel you will panic/crash the box as soon as you try to startup a vmware vm.
Both Xen and vmware run in ring 0.

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to run in at the same time Xen and Vmware, under the same physical host?
Not without patching a lot of stuff. When someone asked this a while back.. there was a lot of conflicting code and when they got past that it just crashed. To put it another way, both are ball games that look alike: Cricket, American Baseball.. beyond throwing a ball, hitting, catching, and running they are not the same.
