Just upgraded 4.7 to 4.8 stable. Hoped that timezone info will be up to date, but it still isn't though files in /usr/share/zoneinfo show new dates. For instance daylight saving time settings are outdated in Europe/Vilnius file. I'll try to recompile those files from sources got fom ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ but it would be nice to have updated info for the next release of freebsd or

As far as I know from experience if your motherboard has a bios update that says it supports presler microcode then you''re set. One gotcha is you may need something simple like a celeron d chip to get your motherboard to boot to get the bios update installed. (As the 3 montherboards I''ve seen won''t boot presler chips without bios update. Adam Wendt IPCoast, Inc. On

I have a dual-processor, dual-core Opteron 265 system. It doesn''t have DDR2, and along with what I can find on the web, I''m pretty sure it doesn''t have Pacifica, so I can''t do full virtualization. Right now it has Longhorn Server Build 5600 (August CTP) x64 on it. But I would like to try out some virtualization stuff to try different os''s and to

No, The way you check if SSE FP / xmm is supported is to issue an instruction with an xmm operand inside of a try catch loop: try { issue asm which uses xmm registers such as: pxor xmm0 xmm1 } catch(...) { if you get here an illegal instruction exception occurred then xmm registers are not supported. } Incidentally, in our case, just having an Atholon XP with Windows

Hi Xen team, one short question before I grab the new machine of a colleague: did you build Xen3 for Sid with VMX (virtualization with the newer Vander...Pacifica)? Or will I have to build it myself? Sorry for the direct mail to this list, but I'm not subscribed to Debian-Users. Please CC me, as I'm also not subsribed here. Thx. kind regards, Wolfgang -- cheers,

Hello all! We are testing virtualization with two Sun X2200 M2 (2 x Opteron Dual Core) with Xen (3.1.3, locally compiled, Debian etch), KVM (Debian Sid) and Windows Virtual Server (Windows 2003 Server). We have tried paravirtualization and also full virtualization (Pacifica). In all cases we have experienced problems regarding stability in the systems, specifically erratic lost of network

Hi All, Just curious if anyone is currently using Xen 3on any of the new Intel Xeon processors that support the VT-x extentions. With the VT-x (or AMD's Pacifica) you can run unmodified guest operating systems...so we are looking into buying a new server to run a few virtual machines of CentOS & a few with Windows. If anyone has done this, I would love to hear about their

I just joined this list, so I'm not sure how many of you are already aware of this. KPFA is a 59,000 watt free speech community radio station in Berkeley, California that has been on the air since 1949. They were the first listener sponsored radio station in North America, paving the way for many other community stations across the U.S. and around the world. KPFA was one of first signals to

Hi, i consider to buy a new PC for my Desktop. Now i need Windows for do some work with Photoshop. I would like to buy a AMD X2 4200 with Socket AM2 and the new Pacifica. Supports XEN this CPU together with windows nativly? How fast Windows will works with SDL? Could i use 32bit color deep with SDL? I use fast SATA-Raid with a lot of RAM 4GB ontop of Gentoo Linux Hope someone could answer

Hey folks, this is my first contact to XEN-users list. So please be patient if I missed something. I''ve searched a lot before writing this email. My problem: I do have a non-VT/Pacifica box (an old IBM Laptop). There I''ve got already Xen installed (Dom0, 2.6.18-xen0). Now I''ve tried to use the newest vanilla kernel from Kernel.org (at this time: 2.6.23-rc8). As commonly

Package: xen-utils-3.0 Severity: wishlist Please include support for HVM-based guests. This allows hardware virtualization on systems with Intel's chips with VT (IE, Pentium D 930), and AMD's future chips with Pacifica. HVM allows you to run unmodified operating systems under Xen, such as Windows XP/2003. The following files are needed: /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm

There''s not a simple answer to this. First of all, this will not work with currently available hardware, at least not with Xen, because the current implementation of Xen on currently available hardware relies on Xen-friendly code in the OS, which is relatively easy on Linux and other Open Source OS''s, but becomes near impossible on closed source OS''s. With future
