Hello all. I''ve recently started using Xen 4.0.2rc3 under ia64. Altough "xm info" shows hvm capabilities (and the CPU certainly supports it, AFAIK, has VT-x) hvmtools and friends don''t get builded. I''ve made sure to have all the build dependencies (dev86, bcc and such) altough when i build/install hvmloader doesn''t show up. DomU creation under this schema fails to load it, and it isn''t on any xen installed path. I''m assuming that maybe it''s because hvmloader it''s an ia32/x86_64 binary, but i''m not really sure, and also, don''t know for sure if HVM it''s a work in progress under itanium 2. Any info to clarify would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice day. -- ------------------------------------ Julio C.

Hi Julio, For ia64 issues you might have more luck on xen-ia64-devel. I''ve CC''d that list and put xen-devel to bcc. You might like to follow up with some build logs etc. I''m sure they would be useful in diagnosing the issue. Ian. On Wed, 2011-03-09 at 22:44 +0000, Julio C.

Quick start: hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware/ cp efi-vfirmware/binaries/xenia64-gfw.bin /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader Best regards, -- KUWAMURA Shin''ya _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
