similar to: Booting Windows HVM from physical partition

Hi, I am using Xen 4 under Debian Squeeze. I want to use Windows 2008 x86 with HVM, but only one vcpu allocated when vm started. After increasing vcpus number (vcpus = ''4'') in cfg, at start ignored that parameter, xm list VCPUs show only 1. Why does not able to increase the vcpus? Any idea?:) p.s: if using pvm linux, then the vcpus parameter is ok, increased successfully when I

- use __clear_bit() rather than clear_bit() - use switch statements instead of long series of if-s - eliminate pointless casts (Applies cleanly only on top of the previously sent SVM/EFER patch.)

Hi, I want to run a HVM domU. I have a Dell Optiplex 755: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz I have enabled VT in BIOS settings under performance. However, after I boot into a linux kernel (not under Xen), grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo returns nothing. When I boot under Xen, I get (XEN) Intel VT-d has been enabled (XEN) [VT-D]iommu.c:1700: Queued Invalidation hardware not

Hi, guys. I''m trying to use physical disks as virtual disks in HVM domains. But I couldn''t. I''m using cs10508 of xen-unstable.hg. When I use disk = [ ''phy:sda5,ioemu:hda,w'' ] in conf file, creating HVM domain says, I need to use ''file'' modifier if I use ''ioemu''. So, I changed it to disk = [

Third patch (VT) for hvm xenoprofile support. Applies cleanly to 11470. Signed-off-by: Tom Woller <thomas.woller@amd.com> Please apply to xen-unstable.hg. hvm_xenoprofile_3.patch - The third patch adds the actual xenoprofile fixes for VT: I checked (verified by Renato), that the VT traces look ok also. There is some code that I am unsure about in the vmx_oprofile_get_eip(): i.e using the

This patch adds a number of fp instructions needed for OS/2 to boot as a HVM guest on Intel/VT hardware. It appears to work fine, and OS/2 is now finally working on Intel/VT as well as AMD/SVM. I''m a little concerned about the "correctness" of the FSTSW emulation and the use of inline assembly directly using the corresponding ops for emulation. Wrt FSTSW, it is really two ops

I have a system whose cpu can run a hvm. I have some PCI devices that I would like to be able to pass through straight to the domU Specifically, I want to pass through a device to a Windows VM. No, I explicitly do _not_ have a system with Intel''s VT-d technology. In an ideal world, I would be able to pass the graphics and some arbitrary non-graphics PCI cards direct to the DomU.

UPDATE: This bug does not reproduce in version: 4.1.4-3 since the domU creation is shadowed by another new bug [1]. Below is my hypervisor log or "xm dmesg" output since the 706543 bug also affects my system: # xm dme (XEN) Xen version 4.1.4 (Debian 4.1.4-3) (waldi at debian.org) (gcc version 4.7.2 (Debian 4.7.2-5) ) Fri Apr 19 11:34:20 UTC 2013 (XEN) Bootloader: GRUB 1.99-27+deb7u1

Keir, The following 3 patches allow HVM (SVM and VT) guests to be passively profiled using the very latest patches from Renato. These patches apply to 11470.

Hi folks, currently I try to setup a new xen host v3.4.1 on top of a Asus P5E-VM DO (latest BIOS, Vt-d capable and enabled in BIOS) to migrate my extisting HVMs (Win2k3 server) running on Xen v3.3.0 to a new home. I want to switch over to 3.4.1 to (hopefully!) passthrough my ISDN board to a HVM domU. Unfortunate there seem some issue with the VT-d DMAR tables which is beyond my knowledge and

Hello, I''m using Xen 4.0.0 compiled from source with the 2.6.31.13 kernel that it pulls down on its own. I added support for the aacraid driver to the kernel using ''make menuconfig'' from the build-linux-2.6-pvops_x86_64 subdirectory, and then built and installed the whole thing using ''make install'' from the xen-4.0.0 directory. I compiled this

Hi, when I try to start a hvm the well known error message "Error: HVM guest support is unavailable: is VT/AMD-V supported by your CPU and enabled in your BIOS?" appears. I am using an Intel E8400 on Asus P5E VM DO Board. /proc/cpuinfo info shows that the CPU has vmx support. I have enabled "Vanderpool Technology" in BIOS. According to the xen user manual the package dev86

Hi, I''ve run linux off an on for several years. Recently I''ve been using windows (simply for ease), but have gotten so fed up with stability and what not. I had read good things about xen, so I installed suse and was hoping to not give up the 10% of things that I need windows for. I''ve still got windows on a partition and was wondering if I could boot that, but wanted

Hi folks, i have a problem to boot an Ubuntu CD in a hvm-enabled machine. I get a black screen when connecting via vnc to the virtual machine. When i change the line cdrom= to some other CD (grml Live CD, Windows CD, other ones) it runs fine. But any Ubuntu CD (kubuntu alternative, ubuntu server, ubuntu desktop) i get the mentioned error. I tried using sdl (no window opens) and with

Can I run 8/07 fully virtualised on an Intel VT CPU (with a Linux Dom0)? I gave up on 11/06 because of real mode problems. If not, does anyone have an estimate of when this might be possible, if at all? Thanks - Evan

Has anyone been able to boot a fully virtualized (Intel VT) 32bit guest on XEN32 unstable? I''m trying to setup a nightly test environment for this configuration and XEN32 nosmp hangs when launching a 32bit guest, and XEN32 smp gets a double fault launching a 32bit guest. It happens pretty early as the SDL window doesn''t come up. I tried with apic, pae, and acpi all on
