Hi! I''m trying to install XEN on my test machine because running it on cdrom was too slow. Well, that test machine is a dual P4 with hyperthreading, 2GB of RAM and scsi controller dpti2o. I read the Xeno-1.2-HOWTO.txt, and compile xenolinux without problem, but xen appears to not support dpti2o. Am I missing something here? Another question, when the machine is at grub menu, we can pass dom0_mem= to limit the maximum amount of memory. The question is: Creating another virtual machine will get memory from dom0 or that parameter is only about memory used by dom0? Thanks and congratulations! -- Flávio Bruno Leitner <fbl@conectiva.com.br> [ E74B 0BD0 5E05 C385 239E 531C BC17 D670 7FF0 A9E0 ] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xen-devel

You''ll have to use the ''unstable'' version or wait until it is released as Xen 2.0 (we are *determined* to have the first 2.0 release candidate out later this week).> Another question, when the machine is at grub menu, > we can pass dom0_mem= to limit the maximum amount of > memory.

Other domains can use the rest of memory (less what Xen uses).

I guess the directory xen/ is the top kernel (domain0) and it must be able to access directly the hardware and linux-2.4.26-sparse/ have the modifications needed to compile others domains in order to access the domain0. Building xen/ with ''make'' will compile the files inside of this directory and nothing else, no config at all. -- Flávio Bruno Leitner <fbl@conectiva.com.br> [ E74B 0BD0 5E05 C385 239E 531C BC17 D670 7FF0 A9E0 ] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xen-devel

It will compile everything that you need. Kernel and xen images will be found in install/boot. Also, you might need to do a ''make twisted-install'' amongst other things before xend will run.
