Hi! I need to install vmplayer on Xen guest with centos4.4. When I run vmplayer-config.pl I have problems with inserting vmmon module in kernel. The dmesg shows this message vmmon: Unknown symbol xen_features I read on the forums that vmware is not running on Xen. What I am wondering is if this affirmation refers also to vmplayer and if not how can I skip this problem? Thanks in advance! --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!

I don''t know how your host system handle cross-compiling but on Debian I had sucessful built zaptel modules passing arch param to it. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.

Well I guess that is it. I have xen in vmware and is working ok. But I cannot make vmware to work in xen. Thanks a lot Otavio.

Q: If XEN is using hardware virtualization, VMware shouldn''t know that it''s running virtualized, and should provide classical virtualization. Is that right?

Is that right?In theorie, yes. In practice, you can try, and your mileage may vary. If the HVM guest OS _would_ see a 100% "normal" system, all the *BSD''s would also work. But they don''t (see threads about this) - for some low-level hardware access reason I cannot explain right now (I think it''s explained in the *BSD threads) - but that''s how it is currently.

In creating a perfect environment the software should be able to call itself recursively in itself.. and at that point it gets hard to notice if some virus has taken over your whole machine and only offers you a VM on access.
