This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

Attached simple patch modifies the rombios and hvmloader Makefiles to default to an 8-way bochs bios for the hvmloader. Is there a reason to not define the mp config table by default for >1 processors (8), in the repository? Seems like using the hvm guest config file can the methodolody to describe a UP guest regardless of the mptables. Defaulting the rombios to MP would allow users to

These two patches modify the fully virtualized guests firmware so that the MP tables are created dynamically based upon the VCPU count. Currently the MP tables used by fully virtualized guests are static and built when the ROMBIOS is built. If a user wants a different MP table configuration, HVMLOADER must be rebuilt with new ROMBIOS and MP tables. These patches are mostly for convenience,

hi, i''m using ubuntu edge 6.10. i''d like to test the debian lenny guest with the partition: /dev/sdb5 / /dev/sda8 swap /dev/scd0 cdrom lenny.iso /home/iso/lenny.iso i succeded running edge-guest, windows-guest, but i can''t with debian here''s my config: 2.6.17-6-generic-xen0 xen-hypervisor-3.0-i386 and kernel =

When booting HVMs with SeaBIOS, the BIOS itself takes care of extracting option ROMs from the PCI devices. These ROMs are usually provided with by the device model (qemu). Thus, hvmloader should not require any longer the rombios, stdvga, cirrusvga or etherboot ROMs to be present. Also, the 32bitbios_support.c file is specific to rombios and should not be built when building hvmloader with

Hi List, many People seem to be interested in the Graphic-Card Passthrough Feature (for more or less obvious reasons). Official Support is still under development, and i hope not to interfere with it in any (bad) way ... But i remember my own painfull and timeconsuming research when i wanted this feature to work, so i thought perhaps this spares some time for the unpatient users like me :)

This patch adds an implementation of the TCG BIOS extensions to the Bochs BIOS and enables logging of boot measurements using the previously implemented support for TCPA ACPI tables. A low-level driver for a TPM TIS device and an Atmel device is provided. The implemented specification is described here:

Remove visibility of the FFXSR CPUID bit to an HVM guest. This patch allows HVM Windows x64 to install/boot on AMD-V platforms. This patches applies cleanly to xen-unstable 13743. Please apply to xen-unstable/3.0.5. If possible, pls apply to xen-3.0.4-testing. --Tom thomas.woller@amd.com AMD Corporation 5204 E. Ben White Blvd. UBC1 Austin, Texas 78741 +1-512-602-0059

Some firmware, such as OVMF relies on this value to get the size of extra memory above 4GB. Seabios in Xen doesn''t need this as it gets e820 directly from Xen. Rombios doesn''t read this value.

I am trying to get QNX working with Xen. I''ve going about it in a similar way as installing windows with Xen, but when I start the guest up to install the OS it hangs on the line: ''Hit Esc for .altboot.......'' If anyone has managed to get this working, or has any ideas/advice for me here it would be greatly appreciated! Bryan

What are methods to debug domU when it hangs? Using xen 3.1 compiled from sources I could not manage to launch no domU. Fot instance, I run something like this: =====8<===================== disk = [ ''file:/oradata-act/sles.disk,hda1,w'', '',hdc:cdrom,r'' ] kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-xen" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-2.6.18-xen" cpus =

Hello, I am currently trying to suspend a HVM domU via ACPI. However, after "xl trigger vm s3suspend" the virtual machine freezes after 2-3 seconds (I get a prompt at xl console before that!), and keeps printing the following lines: [ 240.428145] INFO: task jbd2/xvda1-8:146 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [ 240.437649] "echo 0 >

Hi Trying to get WinXP HVM to install as domU on AMD. Got latest Xen Kernel and Xen package (NOT unstable or debug). When start, a window pops up for few seconds.. then it dies and another one comes up... and it disappears too. (Xen is trying to restart and giving up because the restart happens in 2 seconds..) It seems DomU is not able to read/understand something from Cirrus VGABIOS.

Hello. Im trying to get hvm running on my amd64 am2 socket 2gb ram. 1st it as a Debian amd64 etch. 2st xen 3.0.3-2 debian build (more configs below) 3st acpi=1 apic=1 Problem is I can install winXP but after reboot i get black screen. If i press F8 i get menu of XP but can''t select anything ->frozen again If i try acpi=0 apic=0 and install XP it freezes before it XP boots

Hello, I found out what the problem in my other thread was, now I need to solve it: I need to port a modified Bochs bios to Xen x86. However, a file of the original source seems missing: acpi-dsdt.hex. It''s neither in the tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi directory nor in the tools/firmware/rombios one. Also applying the diffs or manually editing the source probably won''t work since

I tried to start a linux hvm domain (just for testing some things compared to a pv domain), and it didn''t start up. I then did a ''xm shutdown'', which didn''t work, then a ''xm destroy'', and from then the ''xm list'' function just hung. I then restarted xend, and ''xm list'' works, but now when I try to start the

Hi, when I boot my windows, the bios that is used is a qemu bios. I''m searching for the bios file on my system that is used by the hvmloader.
