I''m still trying to determine exactly whether or no the various 64-bit Windows OSes work under xVM. In particular, I''m interested in Win2003 Enterprise x64. My understanding is that it _does_ work, but there are no Paravirtualized drivers for it yet. Is this correct? -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800)

Same thing should apply to Win2003 x64. No working PV drivers from Sun, but you can use James Harpers'' GPLPV with some caveats : http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2009-03/msg00380.html If you decide to try it, make sure you stick with http://meadowcourt.org/downloads/Xen%20PV%20Drivers%200.9.12-pre13.exe as newer version have problems with opensolaris dom0 : http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=371502 Regards, Fajar
