Hello! I want to run windows in xen. My linux distrution in ubuntu 6.06 amd 64. I downloaded and installed xen 3.0.2 from binaries. I found that hvmloader is not included in binary distribution :-( So I try to compile it from sources. I get following error: cpp -P -DDEBUG -DTEXTADDR=0x000D0000 vmxassist.ld > vmxassist.tmp ld -o vmxassist -m elf_i386 -nostdlib --fatal-warnings -N -T vmxassist.tmp head.o trap.o vm86.o setup.o util.o nm -n vmxassist > vmxassist.sym objcopy -p -O binary -R .note -R .comment -R .bss -S --gap-fill=0 vmxassist vmxassist.tmp dd if=vmxassist.tmp of=vmxassist.bin ib...

Hi all don''t get such envionment to try now. so ask for help here. imagine that two os installed. Xen3.1 + Linux is installed in /dev/hda and windows xp is installed in /dev/hdb I don''t want to reboot to use windows. Is it possiable to boot the hdb windows in xen? i saw there are some threads about P2V in this mail list. will the P2V tools help? thanks

Hi, Keir: the gdtr information in oldctx is an address for guest, not for vmxassist. When access descriptor on guest gdt, we need to go through guest page table if guest enable paging. This error may happen if guest enable PE/PG in one instruction. This patch fix this issue. Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xin Li <xin.b.li@intel....

A "main" function is defined in Xen-3.1.0-source/tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c. In this main function, rombios, vgabios and vmxassist are copied to specified address, with following commands memcpy((void *)ROMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, rombios, rombios_sz); ... memcpy((void *)ETHERBOOT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, etherboot, sizeof(etherboot)); .... But after searching the whole directory "firmware", I don''t know...

Hello, I read in the announce of Xen 3.2.0 released that it has "preliminary support for a wider range of bootloaders in fully virtualised (HVM) guests, using full emulation of x86 ''real mode''" . I''d like to know what is the level of the emulation of x86 ''real mode''? I ask that because I tried to install OpenSuse 10.3 (I used the iso file

...t fixed up the reference to btx_hdr+0xc to be 900c, instead we''re seeing just 0xc. Note too, that this explains why I believe I can replace the reference to btx_hdr+0xc with an explicit reference to the code segment register; see below.) My guess is that there''s a bug in VMXAssist. I''d like some corroboration of that point, if possible. In fact, because the code had long jumped to the above code sequence to enter 32bit mode, are we still in VMXAssist? Or have we entered into pure execution mode? It appears that the problem is based on an incorrect data seg...

Hi, Was anyone able to run Solaris 10 10/08 as guest under a HVM domU Debian Etch (xen 3.0.3-1) or current Debian Lenny (xen 3.2-1)? In my case Solaris installation stops after boot kernel ; I can''t see anyhing after grub screen. I know that it is possible using Xen 3.3 (see [1]) but I don''t know if it possible with a previous Xen version Thanks, Álvaro [1]

Hi, i managed to boot a VxWorks 6.5 Kernel on QEMU without kqemu acceleration. The bootloader and the precompiled Kernel, both belong to the Pentium 3 BSP, which was delivered with the evaluation version of windriver workbench 2.6 for "intel". Now I tried to boot the same VxWorks bootloader and Kernel inside a XEN HVM. I see a message from the bootloader "V1.6+++..." and the
