Hi, I''m trying to boot xen on hp t5000 terminal. It''s pretty old machine with Transmeta Efficeon processor. Unfortunately it refuses to boot with message: The noapic parameter is incompatible with Xen. Here is dmesg information about apic: [ 0.000000] Using APIC driver default [ 0.000000] No local APIC present or hardware disabled [ 0.000000] APIC: disable apic facility [ 0.000000] APIC: switched to apic NOOP [ 0.078189] smpboot: Local APIC not detected. Using dummy APIC emulation. Does anybody know if it''s possible to boot xen on such hardware at all ? Thanks, Wiktor

Re: Xen with PV guests on machine without APIC
Hmm, please specify more hardware. What I found was HP ThinClient T5000 series "http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/downloads/t5000%20Thin%20Client%20Data %20Sheet%202005.pdf". On that HardWare, never! If you have installed linux already onto your box check with cat /proc/cpuinfo under flags if you see the Virtualization flag. The Flags are described for ex. under http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43539/what-do-the-flags-in-proc-cpui nfo-mean Thanks, Walter -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xen.org [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xen.org] On Behalf Of Wiktor Zajas Sent: Samstag, 24.

I''m aware that I can''t run hvm guests on that hardware, but PV guests don''t require hardware virtualization, right ? /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineTMx86 cpu family : 15 model : 2 model name : Transmeta Efficeon(tm) Processor TM8000 stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 700.000 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm nx mmxext longrun lrti constant_tsc bogomips : 2394.35 clflush size : 128 cache_alignment : 128 address sizes : 32 bits physical, 32 bits virtual power management: 2013/8/24 Walter Robert Ditzler <ditwal001@hotmail.com>:> Hmm, > > please specify more hardware.
