Hi all, I am making some test with XEN 3.2 (SLES 10 SP2). I would like to install a SMP windows XP SP2. When I choose a "Standard PC" HAL (pressing F5 during the first step of installation) the DOMU has a very nice performance but ignore the second CPU. When I choose a Mono or Multi processor MPS HAL the DOMU recognize the two processors but goes so slowly that it is unusable. When I install a Mono or Multi processor ACPI HAL the DOMU recognize both processors but has a very bad general performance. Can any body help with the correct configuration? Will the GPLPV drivers help to improve the performance in the ACPI case? Thanks for your help _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I had some sort of timer/clock issue when using smp on windows xp, 2003 etc, pinging localhost would return incorrect times, perhaps the problem can affect performance too. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2008-09/msg00657.html Andy _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
