Hi, I''m trying to use Xen 3.0.2 under Debian GNU/Linux Sid. I install xen with the debian package, under the 2.6.17-2-xen-686 debian''s kernel. when I ty to create to create a virtual machine with: sudo xm create xmwinxp.hvm the system tell me: Error: Not an HVM capable plateform, we stop creating! So, I''d look in google what it wanted to say. I''ve flash my BIOS, but I''ve any option to activate the Intel VT. So, I''d look to the list of supported processor, http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/HVM_Compatible_Processors but I don''t saw mine. I''ve an Intel Pentium D 945, but the Intel support tells that the 900 series support the VT technology http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_d/prodbrief.pdf Is there a way for my case to make Xen working? Thanks in advance for all help My computer is a Maxdata with a Pentium D 945 and a motherboard MSI MS 7248 -- Cordialement _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I have no idea why exactly your model doesn''t work with Xen. This can have multiple reasons: - your board doesn''t support it (with some boards HVM doesn''t work even with a HVM Processor) - the processor is an exception from the 900 series - Xen doesn''t work well together with the processor> Is there a way for my case to make Xen working?You can at least use Xen in paravirtual mode instead of hardware virtualization mode.> My computer is a Maxdata with a Pentium D 945 and a motherboard MSI MS 7248As said above, maybe it''s the board. You can nag your dealer and Intel whyx they sell stuff that doesn''t work well with hvm.

And as i understand it all opteron CPU''s have "amd-v" and supports hardware virtualization, yet this model isnt in the list. Is it not actually yet supported, even though it HAS the technology, or is there an error in the list ?

> And as i understand it all opteron CPU''s have "amd-v" and supports> hardware virtualization, yet this model isnt in the list. that''s not true at all! ONLY all AMD Opteron/Athlon 64-CPUs with the (not anymore) new AM2-socket do support HVM, I don''t know if there are any AMD-CPUs for the older 939-/940-socket etc. that also support HVM! -- Chau y hasta luego, Thorolf _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

We will most likely go with Xeon machines now, and unfortunately it looks like we have to go with VMWare for now, because we need to have Solaris running in at least one VM. However i will personally pursue the XEN path for future upgrades. =) _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I didn''t realize your config files name contains "winxp" and this is the main thing you are trying to do. Your question was so general asking "can I get Xen working".
