similar to: [PATCH 0/2][HVM] Dynamic MP Table Creation

I have a self built system using an Intel D 920 processor and a MB that supports VT. I''m able to run HVM domains fine, but have trouble getting multiple VCPUs for these domains. Here is an example of one of my configs. # -*- mode: python; -*- #============================================================================ # Python configuration setup for ''xm create''. #

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

Hi all, I''m using ThinkPad T60, with xen3.1.0, windows could be installed into a file based virtual disk. however, when I tried to use a physical disk, I got this err msg: HVMAssist BIOS, 1 cpu $Revision: 1.138 $ $Date: 2005/05/07 15:55:26 $ ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (0 MBytes) ata0 slave: UnKnown device Booting from Hard Disk...

Hello, I am currently trying to suspend a HVM domU via ACPI.

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

The SeaBIOS ROM image may validly exceed 128k in size, it''s only our interface code that so far assumed that it wouldn''t. Remove that restriction by setting the base address depending on image size. Add a check to HVM loader so that too big images won''t result in silent guest failure anymore. Uncomment the intended build-time size check for rombios, moving it into a

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

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.

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

Hello list, I''ve installed Xen 3.0.3-testing from source on my spiffy new socket AM2 machine and I''m eager to play with fully virtualized guests. The problem is, it seems the hvmloader wasn''t installed (or built) when I built and installed Xen. I''m getting the following error : Error: Kernel image does not exist: /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader So I did a quick

Hello, I am currently using a Dell Poweredge SC 1435 at the moment and am trying to virtualize windows on xen however it seems windows does not really understand what its supposed to do. Anyone have an idea what could be the problem I think there is something windows doesn''t understand from the virtualized hardware. With WinXP I get a black screen on reboot (with a grey bar at

Hi, These set of patches are affected by replacing bios_relocate hook with bios_load hook in hvmloader. The patches for code files config.h and hvmloader.c also contains part of the contents of Enabling UEFI BIOS(OVMF) support in Xen-unstable HVM. Is there any problem with these patches?

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.
