[Xen-users] Anyone running SCO OpenServer, especially 5.0.x, in Xen?
I''m involved in a project to migrate SCO systems over to Linux. I''d love to have a clean virtualized working environment for various reasons, and am hopeing that someone''s actually done it and can point me to booby traps. I''ve got VT capable CPU;s on my server, I''m using virt-manager under RHEL 5.1 on a 32-bit OS, and I''m using the "Generic" settings for the OS selection. The installation CD and drives are detected at OS installation time, but it just freezes right there and proceeds no further. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Are you using AMD cpu''s ? I have seen some mails that people have troubles booting xBSD systems on Intel machines, but AMD seems to work. Could this be the same issue (sounds like that if your system freezes right after boot has started.) ?

I tried to run SCO in a Xen HVM-domain but without success. I played with SCO OpenServer 6. Windows and FreeBSD run on that system without ny problems. If anybody knows anything about running SCO OpenServer 5.0.5/5.0.7/6 in a Xen HVM-domain, please tell it. Also, does anybody know anything about running legacy OSes (like OS/2 and Windows NT 3.51/4.0) in a Xen HVM-domains? Or I shouldn''t think about it and use QEMU?> > S > > > On Jan 2, 2008 10:12 PM, Nico Kadel-Garcia <nkadel@gmail.com> wrote: > > I''m involved in a project to migrate SCO systems over to Linux.

OS/2 Warp 4 will work for Fixpack levels < 13 on AMD CPUs. There''s one remaining patch I need to submit to get FP13 & higher working. I have a working patch for that, if you''re interested, but I''m working on a bigger patchset that will include it and it needs some more testing before I feel it''s ready for mainline. NT 4 worked perfectly when I tested it recently.
