Xen users - Aug 2007 - IA64 Xen Bi-endian support - Litlle-endian Dom0 + Big-endianDomU

Hi,

 

I am running Xen 3.04 version and trying to run a big-endian OS as guest on
IA64. 

Is it possible to run a big-endian OS as guest, when the Dom 0 is running
little-endian?

 

Thanks,

Veena Joshua

   Xen/ia64 can run a big endian PV guest on a little endian Xen/dom0.
However, this is only known to work with the ia64 mini-os and a
proprietary OS being paravirtualized by Fujitsu-Siemens.  I don''t know
if anyone has tested a big endian HVM guest.
