Hello Paul,

I've tried installing the lts kernel. When I boot the domU from this
kernel I get a kernel panic. Do I have to add additional configuration
parameters?

In the grub "menu.lst" I just copied the entry of the virtual kernel and
adopted it for the lts.

As Drew stated

the purpose of this all is to put the access point with hostapd in a
confined area on the server, since it acts as a gateway, too. Same for 
dns, dhcp etc. But these service don't have special requirements.

Regards
Marc
