I?ve got such a machine (Intel SMP+VT) and now I want to test it with Xen.
I?d like to know how to install something (like Windows XP (: ) via VT on
it.
It seems to me that Xen is not stable yet. I?ve read somewhere that Redhat?s
gonna ship it in December 2006.
At this moment I?m trying Xen LiveCD 1.5 under Vmware - it?s really
beautiful, although not really using VT yet (Vmware doesn?t offer VT support
to the virtual machines, I thing). It has the option to create some Debian,
OpenSuse and/or Centos guest OSes. I?ve got some screenshots too.
I have a little problem with disk partitioning: there is a bad block in my
hard disk and therefore Acronis PartitionExpert (running Windows XP) will
not accept to change the *big* partition (need to free some space for
Linux). I need another tool. If you have any sugestion, please tell me.
