+for us to write drivers for "legacy" hardware. It is likely that some
+desktop chipsets will fail to work properly with the default Xen
+configuration: specifying 'noacpi' or 'ignorebiostables' when booting
+Xen may help in these cases.
Xen requires a "P6" or newer processor (e.g. Pentium Pro, Celeron,
Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, Xeon, AMD Athlon, AMD Duron).

If you have problems booting Xen, there are a number of boot parameters
that may be able to help diagnose problems:
- ignorebiostables Disable parsing of BIOS-supplied tables. This is needed
- for some very unsupported chipsets (eg. nforce2). If you
- specify this option then ACPI tables are also ignored, and
- SMP suppirt is disabled.

nosmp Disable SMP support.
This option is implied by 'ignorebiostables'.
