similar to: boot a existing windows in hvm domain

I just built 4.3.0 in order to get > 2GB of RAM in domU with GPU passthrough without crashes. Unfortunately, the same crashes still happen. Massive frame buffer corruption on domU before it locks up solid. It seems the PCI memory stomp is still happening. I am using qemu-dm, as I did on Xen 4.2.x. So whatever fix for this went into 4.3.0 didn''t fix it for me. Passing less than 2GB

Hi Jan Beulich, > changeset 15414: 3cf5052ba5e5 x86: machine check exception handling With the c/s, when creating HVM guest, I can only see a white Qemu window. :( Can you have a look? Thanks.

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

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

I hope someone can enlighten me. I have a quad-port Intel 82580 nic (igb driver) on my system and I''d like to dedicate each nic to a HVM via VT-d PCI passthrough. The IOMMU on my system seems to work, I can assign the PCI devices to my HVMs. The HVMs see the pci device and load their respective igb drivers, and ethtool -i eth0 works on each HVM, shows the drivers are loaded and the

Thank you. I notice the system then jumps to F000:FFF0 to execute. But because VMX is turned on, switching to real-mode would incur problems? I don’t find any clue to turn on the vm86 mode as Readme in the tools/firmware directory puts.

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

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]

Folks -- I''m trying to run FreeBSD 6.0 on a VT-x based Xen system. I''m experiencing a problem where the boot loader is crashing before the FreeBSD kernel (proper) is loaded. The sequence of operations is that the VMX domain is constructed, the BIOS is executed, GRUB loads, I type the instructions to load FreeBSD (a boot loader) and that code begins to execute and then

Like others on this list I am trying to employ the VTD-NEO patches in Xen 3.2 unstable to assign the internal graphics device to Dom1/Vista. I have removed the Cirrus Logic emulated device from qemu and replaced the Cirrus Logic vgabios with the the actual vgabios from my GPU. However I am hitting an xen assert and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. Below

If anyone is still interested in this old thread, I have a rh7.3 image running under hvm. It''s a hack, but here''s what I did: Install rh7.3 in a vmware machine with vmware server.

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

We (Michael Fetterman, George Dunlap and I) have been working over the last while on a full replacement for Xen''s shadow pagetable support. This mail contains some design notes, below; a patch against xen-unstable, giving a snapshot of the current state of the new shadow code, is at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~tjd21/shadow2.patch Comments on both are welcome, although the code is not

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

The bug report says vmxassist is only used on Intel processors. The applied patch doesn't seem to check for the cpu vendor - should it or we don't care? I assume a FV Xen VM on AMD will burn some cycles if unused and idle (unlike now). Sebastian

Hello all, please tell me, is it possible (at least theoretically) to circumvent bug 622 [1] by using GRUB instead of /boot/loader to load FreeBSD kernel? Or it is silly idea: even if we bypass /boot/loader we will not be able to run FreeBSD kernel in a HVM-domain on a Intel-based host for some other reason? As far as I know, GRUB can''t load FreeBSD kernel directly, but only can

Greetings. I''ve been asked to work on a PXE solution for booting Xen domU''s from a network, and would like some feedback and any help anyone is willing to provide. I''ve been limiting my work to HVM domU''s at the moment, because I don''t think the NBI''s (as far as I know, these are bootloaders) that I have available work in paravirtualized

All, We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset 9267). We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size. We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of the sles-9 OS. This completes successfully. Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line
