Hi all, I''m running XP and 2003 Server fine as HVM guests (under a 32 bit non-pae Xen 3.0.3 self-compiled). I''ve read that Vista can *not* be /installed/ under Xen for it checks for ACPI support and install fails if it isn''t present. What if I do the install first from, say, plain Qemu (I''re reused qemu images from Xen) or VMWare (I''ve converted

hi im wondering if i can ''convert'' and existing physical windows partition to a xen image like this: - mount the existing ntfs fs - use dd to make a correct sized foo.img file - loop back mount foo.img - ntfs format (as bootable?) foo.img - ''cp -r '' the files from the mounted ntfs to the mounted and formated foo.img - use the

Hi all, I''ve got a few questions : - can xend be started inside a modified guest? - can xend be started inside an unmodified guest? - what would be a simple way from a shell script to detect wether we''re inside a domU or a dom0? (taking into account the fact that the same kernel as reported, say, by "uname -a", could be running in the dom0 and the domUs) Thanks in

Now I can easily determine wether I''m running on a modified kernel or not (by checking for the presence of /proc/xen). However, once I''ve found

Hi all, I checked the following page but it is not exhaustive: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/IntelVT (it actually doesn''t even lists Core 2 Duo as supporting Intel-VT [it lists Core Duo though]... I''m not familiar with Wikis, I don''t know how I can change this myself [and I don''t know either if I''m allowed to change it]) Could all the people

Thanks for your answers... But IMHO it''s hacky and error-prone to rely on the name of the host to determine if it''s a domU or a dom0 (or an unmodified kernel) :( I don''t like that much neither changing the name of the kernel :-/ I need to be able to determine, as a normal user (that is: non-root), if I''m running in a domU or not (I can already tell if

Hi all, thanks to Mats I managed to compile a custom Linux kernel (2.6.16.29) and Xen 3.0.3. I then did "apt-get bcc" (to be able to build "hvmloader") cd /usr/src/xen...src/tools/ make install Then I could launch Windows XP but I wouldn''t see the SDL window... because qemu-dm has a compile time dependency on SDL devel. "apt-get libsdl1.2-dev" I

Hi all, first a lot of thanks to all the Xen developers ;) Currently I''m displaying Windows XP by using VNC. I''ve got both ''vnc=1'' in my Xen config file and an "UltraVNC server" running inside the Windows XP HVM. (but I usually only connect to the UltraVNC server). I''m not a VNC guru... Is it possible to somehow have a Windows XP system
