I''ve got an AM2 Athlon64 X2 (it''s nice) and attempting to install systems using HVM. I installed WindowsXP and that went OK. I''m now installing Ubuntu 6.06 and it''s painfully slow. The host is running Debian Etch with the included Xen packages. I''ve got host ram set to 512M and the system has 2G. My config looks like this: arch_libdir=''lib64'' kernel="/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder="hvm" name="rdapper" #vcpus=1 memory = 512 disk = [''phy:/dev/vg1/rdapper,ioemu:hda,w'', ] cdrom=''/home/randall/ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-amd64.iso-1'' boot=''d'' on_poweroff = ''destroy'' on_reboot = ''destroy'' on_crash = ''destroy'' device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir + ''/xen/bin/qemu-dm'' snapshot = 0 #soundhw=''sb16'' #usb=1 sdl=1 vnc=0 Any idea why it is so slow and if anything can be done about it. It''s currently formatting the hd with ext3 and is at 15% after about 10 minutes.

Follow up: The hd formatting froze and 15% as well the cpu applet. The mouse still worked as well as the menu. I tried to open FireFox, but it didn''t open then the mouse eventually froze and I killed it.

i''d say choose the safe grafics mode from the bootup menu when the cd boots up in your virtual machine Gregory Gee wrote:> > How did you do that? > > Greg > > Randall Smith wrote: >> Great Discovery!
