Hi, I am trying to boot Xen on top of a simulator. I am having problems with the APIC module in my simulator, not related to Xen. So, I want to boot Xen without APIC support. Is there a way to disable APIC support in Xen? I am fine even Xen is restricted to uni-processor environment. Thanks, Bhaskar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
In Linux we have kernel options like "noapic nolapic" to disable APIC. Is there a way to do the same in Xen?

Hi Bhaskar, try to edit your boot manager entry for Xen and add the extra-part to the line /kernel /your/settings to have: /kernel /your/settings extra="noapic nolapic" Hope that works...

Hi Bjoern, Thanks for your reply. I have given those options to Xen and Linux both. But, it is still going into apic initialization routines and trying to read APIC information :( Thanks, Bhaskar On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 6:58 PM, <bbmailing@web.de> wrote:> Hi Bhaskar, > > try to edit your boot manager entry for Xen and add the extra-part to the > line > /kernel /your/settings > to have: > /kernel /your/settings extra="noapic nolapic" > > Hope that works... > > Best regards, > Bjoern > > > > > From: "Bhaskar Muppana" <bhaskar.muppana@gmail.com> > > In Linux we have kernel options like "noapic nolapic" to disable APIC. > Is there a way to do the same in Xen? > > > > Thanks, > > Bhaskar > > > > > > On Tue, Apr 1, 2008 at 2:37 PM, Bhaskar Muppana < > bhaskar.muppana@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am trying to boot Xen on top of a simulator.
