Hi, i''d like to get xen working on my laptop but hibernate and resume are essential features for me as I move around a lot. I use both acpi s3 (suspend-to-ram) and in kernel implementations of suspend-to-disk -- either swsusp or suspend2. I know that a while back xen devs were working on getting these features to work with xen kernels. Anyone know what the state of these efforts is? thanks, matt _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Anyone > know what the state of these efforts is?I believe work is in progress - there are some Intel folks working on it. You might find some posts from them in the mailing list archives. You could also look at KVM (if you have hardware virtualisation support) or lguest/lhype. Neither of them are *currently* as mature as Xen is, but running as a kernel module may enable suspend/resume etc. to Just Work (although I''m not exactly sure of the status of this). KVM will be in 2.6.20 Cheers, Mark -- Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals! Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?

It contains a Kernel with kvm support, the kvm tools need to be installed (into ramdisk, that is on the live cd) with apt-get install kvm. Then modprobe kvm, and you are up and ready for start your first kvm system with the kvm command, that works same as qemu. Takes about 5 minutes, so it beats the xenexpress 10 minutes :) Henning _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

We''ll send out for review soon once ready. Thanks, Kevin _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
