Xen users - Nov 2005 - Resource temporarily unavailable on starting a vmx-domain

Hi all!

today I tried to start a vmx-domain with latest unstable-src.tarball.
I used the vmx-example-config and changed the filename of my
disk-image-file.

When I try to create that domain I get a (11, Resource temporarily
unavailable) error message.

Has anybody seen that and can tell me "what" resource is unavailable.
I
can''t find anything that could help me in the logs.

thanks in advance

Patrick

did you try this on a Intel IA64/VTI or AMD 64/VT Pacifica powered
machine ?

as far as in know are vmx domains only useful (or generally usable) on
machines
with VT enabled 64bit CPU''s. maybe the missing resource is the right
cpu ? :)

greetings

No, I tried on plain "old" IA32-hardware.

In the "VMX-Status"-mails in xen-devel you can see that it is possible
to run vmx-domains on ia32 hardware.
Or did I get something wrong there?

hm, i think, the intel guys are talking about ia32 domU''s running as
vmx-guests.
Last posting reads:

don''t get confused about xen0, also privileged domains can be started
instead of xenU''s (well, you''ll have to hide some hardware
from them)

btw. i''ll bet, the hardware used at the intel lab''s
isn''t spread widely :)

cheers

Stephan
