...990 card? Secondary to that, has anyone done a crossfire setup on an HVM DomU? I''d like to run Xen on top of my desktop and put Windows into a VM, shuffling my setup around a little bit, but I''d really like to get the full VGA BIOS support that passthrough offers. Thanks, Andrew Bobulsky

...Windows on top of Xen. While I''ve done this with retail copies before, that''s just a matter of a license key. BIOS SLICs, while convenient, are likely less straightforward to translate into a VM. Does anyone know if this is possible and/or supported by Xen/QEMU? Thanks, Andrew Bobulsky

...ween Windows, Linux, and perhaps a Hackintosh? That would be quite the awesome application of cutting edge tech, I say :) Curious if anyone has experience with attaching/detaching these types of devices, and whether or not guest OSes and their drivers, play nice with this feature. Thanks, Andrew Bobulsky

Hi, I am new to Xen and I was wondering if the following construction would be feasible with the current Xen. I would like to put 2/3/4 new computers in my house, mainly for gaming. Instead of buying 2/3/4 different computers, I was thinking of building one computer with a 4/6/8-core CPU, 2/3/4 GPUs, 2/3/4 small SSDs, and attach 2/3/4 monitors to it, 2/3/4 keyboards and 2/3/4 mouses, and run VGA

One of my customers handed me a copy of this paper and asked why are we using xen if it is so slow... http://morse.colorado.edu/~tlen5710/12s/VMware.pdf which is a fairly damning report of performance under Xen in comparison to VMWare, citing worse than 50% overhead of Xen in comparison to physical. Has anyone seen this paper before? James

Hi all I have a problem with enabling IOMMU on Xen 4.2.1. When I enable it in BIOS and in grub.conf using iommu=1 kernel option, my machine cannot boot. I get a following error on serial console: (XEN) **************************************** (XEN) Panic on CPU 0: (XEN) Xen BUG at pci_amd_iommu.c:35 (XEN) **************************************** (XEN) (XEN) Reboot in five seconds... Error says

Hello, Like many trying and posting here, I''m new to VGA passthrough. Computer was bought, checking compatibility from http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTd_HowTo The hardware is mostly not exactly on the list, but mainly new versions of the same series (I think). IOMMU "seems" to be working (not 100% sure what to check). I used debian/wheezy kernel and xen, dom0 and HVM domu.

Is there a way to show only a splash screen during the boot up, like not even the BIOS text? I would like to make a kiosk with no indication of what is running. Thanks, Bryan

Hi, I finally managed to test pxelinux 4.10 pre17 in our VMware environment and can report that HTTP booting seems to work reliably now. Downloads are fairly fast. As a side note, rosh "ls" and "pwd" commands now work as expected with a HTTP TFTP prefix, cool! I'll leave it in production use now and report about any further issues. Can you already tell when a 4.10

Hi Guys, I'm currently using pxelinux 4.03 and memdisk to boot a DOS based floppy we use this software for training purposes to run a basic hardware check. It does not seem to like systems which have more than 1GB of RAM, which is some of the machines our company are now starting to see. Is there a way I can ask memdisk or PXE linux to use only xxx MB of RAM, e.g. 256MB...?

I guess I have stumbled upon a bug in gplpv drivers. If you try to re-enable an nic adapter after disabling it, it just hides out of blue. And you have to reboot. Latest version of gplpv drivers and Windows 2008 R2 here. Anyone else noticed the same issue? I wonder if this is related to hot-plugging something like

I'm looking to get something of a generic CLI prompt function/libarary into Syslinux for use in a COM32. I'm looking for the following: 1) Line Editing with proper wrapping. Currently, gPXE and HDT both have provisions in place for line editing however they both can not handle line wrapping appropriately. 2) Tab completion. Tab completion of filenames would be a goal but not a

[cid:9FBAC256-5A30-4061-B74E-53A6B7B3D7BA at c-team.local] Hi all, Our own appliance is a Linux Kernel and 2 initrd files for filesystem - one system and one config partition. After the yum upgrade on our build machine ISO files are generated but useless. I you are able to see the picture I would like to know "who" writes the - Loading /system.igz? failed! Is it the kernel already

Hi all, I''ve got a couple of questions regarding the current status of nvidia with Xen, since it is well known that nvidia doesn''t work as smooth at the moment with Xen (comparing to ati). My current goal is to use one nvidia gtx460 card and the onboard intel hd4000 on dom0, and then do passthrough for another nvidia gtx460 to a Windows domU. I know there are patches

Hi all, I''m planning a rig that has SuSE linux in Dom0 and Windows7 in a DomU with the PCIe video card passed through to the Win7-U and an AMD system''s onboard video for the Linux system. Couple xen-newbie questions: does my plan work in such that I intend to have the onboard video''s DVI and the video card (at present an NV GTX-460) on the same monitor and switch

There seems to be an outdated page to use PV drivers here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenWindowsGplPv I''d be great if that could be updated. After installing the PV drivers in windows I didn''t notice any difference in performance at all. Windows says the drivers are working. Some more searching and reading and it appears that I do actually need to make some changes to

Hi, I''m trying to get VGA passthrough to work to an XP x64 guest, and I''m seeing "interesting" things happening. I''m using the kernel and userspace tools from here: http://xen.crc.id.au/support/guides/install/# on Scientific Linux 6. I gave up on trying to get an Nvidia card to work in the guest having read about the extra patches required to get a

Hey, Are there any known issues with the Intel''s integrated HD graphics 4000? I just bought a new laptop and have tried everything I can think of to get Xen to load. After choosing Xen in GRUB, it just boots to a black screen. There is no error message , no dmesg output, nothing. I have no idea what is causing this problem. I''ve gotten Xen to install with no problems on another
