Hello group, I recently purchased an HP m7360n computer which has an Intel Pentium D 920 processor in it. Unfortunately there is no BIOS option to enable or disable VT. The board it sits on uses the Intel 945P chipset. If I am in linux and do a ''cat /proc/cpuinfo'' I get this: [root@localhost ia32]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family

Keir, below/attached patch is necessary to allow SVM partitions to boot unmodified guests with xen-unstable.hg c/s 8961. c/s 8822 and 8828 (some necessary evtchn modifications) cause SVM partitions to fail with "lost interrupt" hda error during boot. We currently do not understand why these modifications are necessary and in fact, a race occurs with one part of the patch (added

Hi, I''m runing a Fedora Core 6 on a Power Edge with Xeon Cranford that I planning to running Windows as a guest S.O. and reading "Fedora Xen Quickstar FC6" as document to install Xen on this server. This document recomend a "grep vmx /proc/cpuinfo" test to verify if computer is Intel VT supported. Running this command I don''t find any information about vmx.

Hi, I have a Dell opt 755 machine and installed Xen 3.3.1. The CPU is core 2 due E6550, which as the vmx flag. However, when I reboot the machine to xen 3.3.1. I can not find vmx in the /proc/cpuinfo. But vms appears in the kernel 2.6.29 (not xen kernel). Can anyone help on how to enable vt in this machine? Thanks.

Hello all, please tell me, how can I be sure that my Xen installation is built with Intel VT-d support? Something like xm info | grep -i KEY-REGULAR-EXPRESSION xm dmesg | grep -i KEY-REGULAR-EXPRESSION What line I should look for? And if it''s really built with it, how can I be sure, that Xen has successfully initialized VT-d hardware? I have read [1] and the lists archives

Hi, Curiously, it''s worth noting that Xeon Processor 5100 series are not in the list of HVM Compatible Processors : http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors Patrick ----- Message d''origine ---- De : Mohamed Zohny <mohamad.zohny@gmail.com> À : xen-users <xen-users@lists.xensource.com> Envoyé le : Mercredi, 8 Novembre 2006, 9h17mn 08s Objet :

Hi Everyone, I upgraded my CentOS 5.5 to Xen 3.4.2 using this guide: http://www.syntaxtechnology.com/2010/01/upgrade-xen-3-0-on-centos-5-4-x86_64-to-xen-3-4-2/ Now, using the new kernel that it gave me, the system doesn''t seem to be able to detect vt-x.. In virt-manager, Local Install Media and Network Boot are greyed out.. Any ideas? Thanks

I''m wondering if the new Dell Precision 490 workstation is/looks to be VT-ready, planning it for SuSE10.1/Xen and unmodifies Windows guest? From the system specs: 1-2 Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5000 series 64-bit processors Intel 5000X chipset Windows XP/Vista or Redhat EWS4 Linux

I have a chipset which supports VT-d (Intel X58) and, according to my motherboard manufacturers, VT-d is enabled in the BIOS and listed as "Intel VT." The problem is that xm dmesg shows "I/O virtualisation disabled" and I get this error message when I try to create a domU with a pci device assigned: ''Error: failed to assign device: maybe the platform doesn''t

Hello, What is the better solution now to run linux domUs under Xen3? Using a VT hardware, sould I install a xen-patched kernel as I would where no VT extension, or use an unmodified linux guest system? Is there any performance difference between a Pentium D 3 Ghz with vt (9xx) and without it (8xx)? Regards, Slapic _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hello, I don''t have a Vt-x machine on which I can test and see; I have a question regarding running qemu on Vt-x xen machines. xen-unstable has a config file example: dist/install/etc/xen/xmexample.hvm In this file we have the follwoing line: device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir + ''/xen/bin/qemu-dm'' The use manual says about the device_model:

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

The patch attached is to set effective memory type for EPT according to the VT-d snoop control capability, and also includes some cleansup for EPT & VT-d both enabled.

Hello there, I am using a Gigabyte H55M-UD2H (Intel H55-Chipset) together with a Core-i5-650. According to Gigabyte Support the Mainboard does support VT-d. Well, actually support says, that VT-d does work on Windows-7 in XP-Mode. They do not test and support Linux though. Did anybody here have success using VT-d on any H55-Board? Perhaps it is some misconfiguration on my side. I tried a

Hi, I really need help. I spent 2 days already on this pci passthrough thing. I''m using Xen 3.2.1 with Centos 5.2 64 bits on intel VT. I''d like to use PCI passthrough and I don''t think I need VT-D functionality. I''m trying to pass PCI 12:01.0 to my domU guest. I got this error when I use "xm create /etc/xen/hvm_centos_2.cfg" Using config file

Hi, recently I came across a deal on a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2850 servers and I was hoping to use them to run Debian with Xen to provided virtualization support for Windows 2003 and other Debian installations. I was hoping to install 2 copies of Windows 2003 as well as 2 copies of Debian all on top of the DOM0 Debian installation. The servers have dual 3.2ghz CPU''s and include 16GB

Hi, I''ve recently setup a few machines with 3.2 64bit without any unresolvable problem. These machines all run pv domU''s and a view "basic" hvm domUs. As I''ve got one machine left for internal use and testing, I would like to take a look at pciback with VT-d support (bios screen shows a VT-d [enable|disable]). My question is, do I need to add patches, or use
