Could the packages be updated to include the HVM support files? I believe the necessary files are: ./usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm ./usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm.debug ./usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader These do add dependencies on x11, so it may be a good idea to split it into a separate package.. but it is needed for VT-based processors. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars@natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got everything working with the SDL display model (running Windows XP under Xen on a Intel VT system), but haven't been able to get VNC working yet. It would probably also be good to include /usr/sbin/xen-bugtool in the main xen-utils-3.0 package. (Speaking of bugs, should I be opening a 'Wishlist' bug for this?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars@natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
