Xen users - Nov 2006 - Migrating real OS into virtual system (newbie)

Hi.

Is it possible (with quite good experience in Linux) to migrate a whole real
system (with ''xenified'' kernel) into virtual one i Xen
(running on processor without virtualization extensions)? Sorry for asking, but
digging through docs I''m not sure about it.

TIA

R.

Yes.  Just copy the original installation into a file image, LV, or
something else that the dom0 can see, write a config, and start it up.
You may have to move /lib/tls by hand, but that''s about it.
