Dear all; Has anyone tried the new CPU (codename Yonah) produced by Apple? I heard from the engineer of Apple that MacBook Pro is already reachable, although it is not distributed to the public until February. If anyone has some information, I would like to buy it to enlarge the frontier. -- Does Yonah demand xen/i86 or xen/ppc? Or we need brand-new source code? That is the problem. Is

Hello every body. Well, my question is very simple . I Have a HVM working fine ( I hope so ... ) on a CentOS 5.1 , xen 3.1. I created config file by hand .. I''m not using virtmanager from CentOS .. I '' m using LVM dev w/o file system formated. My HDA is configured like this: disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vms_1/win01,hda,w'' ] My question , what is the diference if I

Hi, Which of the Mercurial repos contains Linux kernel sources that were used to build the Xen 3.1 binary distribution? I have this question because I am suspecting that the sata_via driver included in the distribution is not supporting my SATA controller VIA8237x (I get error messages when modprobe''ing it from an init ramdisk). This repo (http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6-xen.hg)

Hello virtual friends. I''m using Windows HVM on CentOS 5.1, xen 3.1. When I conect VNC to Dom0 IP , I get correct screen, main windows console. But I have a very very poor mouse performance. I tried xensoure 4.1 , and I saw a mouse performance a little bit better than xen 3.1 w / CentOS 5.1. What is me problem, CentOS 5.1 or xen 3.1 , or compilation wrong maked by CentOS people. Why

Dear, I''m looking to get Xen running on a system that (afterwards) seems a bit too new. The board has the Intel G33 chipset with the Intel ICH9 southbridge. This chipset is NOT supported by kernel 2.6.18 which ships with Xen 3.1.2 (and Debian Etch). So the question is: * What version of Xen to install to get going? Should I choose unstable? * What distribution will be the easiest to get

Hi, Anyone knows whether how xenstore interface works on the Windows guest? If it does, how? I just want to send a small amount of data between dom0 and the Windows guest. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hello, I''m setting up a Xen system since I have diferent choices to create the domU''s partitions: raw partition, lvm, files. I''ve done some tests with hdparm and it all seems to be the same. Can anyone, please, share with me what if the best method. Best regards, Luis _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hi All, The interface manual says - grant tables provide a generic mechanism sharing between domains. Subsequent lines suggest mechanism sharing between only unpriviliged domains. Can grant tables be used for this capability based shared memory communication between dom0 and domUs?

Hi Users, Is it possible to create an HVM domain on NAS location. Did anybody tried this on RHEL5 ? I create a HVM domain using a file disk "using dd with ext3 on this", but what i want is to rooted the OS / on the NAS location directly and it shoud be booted from that location. Thanks in advance for any kind of suggestions. -Trilok _______________________________________________

I foolishly made the following typo: " disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-root,0301,w'', ''phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-root,0302,w'' ] " instead of: " disk = [ ''phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-root,0301,w'', ''phy:/dev/vg00/virt-smtp1-swap,0302,w'' ]" (the type was that the same Dom0 block device is used twice in the

Hello all, I know that the question: Is it possible to run quemu inside Xen domU or run Xen domain 0 on quemu have discussed earlier in this mail list. As far as I remember this is possible except such a configuration where kquemu acceleration is in use. But what about HVM-capable systems? Please tell me are there the same restrictions for the hvm-capable systems? Thank you! -- WBR,

Hi: we have following setup: 1. 2.6.16-33-based Xen 3.0.3/Xen-3.0.4 DOM-0 kernels. 2. Using LILO-mbootpack from USB we boot Xen-->DOM-0 setup 3. We mount harddisk and try to install xp.hvm While,we are successful with FCs as DOM-U, for XP we get, VBD (768) could not be connected. We do have max_loop count to 64 and enough loop devices. Note that above error is consistent on both 3.0.3

I end up with the same error after building and running xen-stable 3.2-rc4 on both Ubuntu 7.10 and Fedora Core 6. I am using AMD64 builds. I have carefully followed the instruction on the xenbits.xensource.com on building Xen unstable. After booting with the new Xen and dom0 kernel, I cannot use any Xen tools (such as xm) from Dom0. I have tried restarting Xend but it fails with the same errors.

Hi All, I am trying to provide services to guest VMs where I wish to run guest VMs in a loop. I wish to use a core to schedule a guest VM, service it eg. execute an ISR etc and then return to the context of Xen on that core, so that I can then schedule the next VM on that core. In doing all this, the goal is to avoid the calls to VMEntry and VMExit. Is there a workaround for this to be done or

Hi, I''m working on the following topic from the xen roadmap as a part of an academic project: "Improve interaction between balloon driver and page allocator to avoid memory crunch." I have a few doubts regarding what exactly needs to be done: 1. Should the working of the balloon driver be same as in the case of VMware ESX balloon driver? (

Hello, all. I want to run VMWare on my dom0, for those special occasions when I need to boot unmodified OSes. I found some messages from 2005 on this list that explained that it''s not possible to run VMWare on a xen host. (Example message pasted below..) Well, it''s 2007 now.. Is it possible yet? Before you ask, no, I don''t have hardware support for virtualization.

I would like to have VMware modules running in the XEN kernel, NOT in DOM0 kernel but outside at the hypervisor level, is that possible? Architecturally, I noticed that xen subbranch does not implement any modules loading. If I were to load the VMware modules directly as an ELF image, will it break any existing architectural feature in XEN? Thanks :-).

hi, I''m developing my own 32-bit (no PAE) paravirtualized kernel for xen with Mini-OS as a starting point. I am currently working on process page table support (equivalent of arch/i386/mm/pgtable-xen.c) and mostly following Linux for the moment. I noticed that linux-2.6.18-xen never pins an L1 table (a pte), yet __pgd_pin() walks the page directory and gives up write access on the kernel
