Hi - hoping someone can help with this. I''m relatively new to Xen but
do
have a working VM. It''s a simple config which I created using
xen-create-image. The system I''m using is a single CPU Opteron (model
1214) & 4GB RAM running Debian (lenny) with the Debian etch xen packages
and from what I can tell all seems to work fine.
The problem comes in when I try to run a Debian 386 VM on 64-bit Xen
system - although I modified the example cfg (xmexample.hvm) file that
was part of the xen-utils-common package, as a template, I''m having no
luck - see below. I''m still not too clear on the different models that
Xen supports so I could be wrong on my approach.
Once I have solved this I''ll attempt a WinXP VM :-)
thanks Raz.

I was misleading myself and the list. I did that using vbox, not xen. I use both systems: vbox on my desktop and xen on servers and I forgot I did it on the desktop not the server.
