I have managed to install xen-3.3.0 on my laptop and have it working properly so far. I must offer my gratitude to the developers who built such a useful system. VMware has been around for ages and yet for one reason or another I was not been exposed to it and therefore never before acquired an appreciation of its capabilities. Xen allows otherwise isolated individuals to ''move to the next level'', as it were, and greatly improve their knowledge of Enterprise-class systems and cluster services. Thank you. The hardware I am using is fairly uninteresting, a Dell Insprion 8200 (P4m 1.6GHz, Nvidia) with half a gig of ram and a 120G HDD, which mostly works under Linux. The OS was once a Slackware distribution but I have been working for some time now to convert it to a hand-rolled installation which violates the FSSTND in several ways, but which is nevertheless amusing as it provides opportunities to learn lessons on the practical value of autoconf and the assumptions that are commonly made by developers. Needless to say I had some difficulty getting everything running, but no total showstoppers. It helps that I''ve been using Linux for several years and so compiling packages from source is a routine activity. I intend to experiment quite a bit with Xen as I realize that machine virtualization under a hypervisor will be a persistent feature of cluster computing for the forseeable future. Now that I have a skeleton framework up and running my immediate plans are (in no particular order): - My current testing domU boot environment fits in 4M disk and runs with only 8M ram and some swap. I have not yet aggressively optimised for space, and I doubt that I will bother doing much in that direction. Static linked applications will far outstrip the modest requirements of this sort of setup, which is ideal for a firewall. So, I will attempt to pass the PCMCIA bus and/or the on-board 10/100 Ethernet through to a domU and build a firewall. - I''m considering also passing the USB ports through as well, but I don''t know how practical that will be. I expect headaches in this area and I would appreciate any practical tips from anyone who has made this sort of thing work on x86-32. - I intend to Instantiate guest domains to isolate major network daemons from ''work'' domains and the firewall. Servers for DNS, HTTP, NNTP, SMTP, etc will be isolated in small environments. This seems rather straightforward. - Obviously I like xen for the fact that testing arbitrary distros will become much, much easier. ATM, I have a partition layout that accommodates three full operating system installations. I should be able to pare that down to two without any risk whatsoever while using LVM to manage an arbitrary number of guest domains. Perhaps now I''ll get a chance to test-drive Plan 9 and FreeBSD without also interrupting normal operations. Beyond that, I envision IPV6 and all sorts of funky niche experimentations. This should be really interesting. Soon, I may even develop an excuse to raise my consulting fees. Heh. At any rate, I have a few specific questions.

In particular, -march=pentium3 -mtune-pentium3 -O3 doesn''t work, and neither will -mfpmath=sse,387 -msse. It would be useful to know where the problem is, but I have no idea where to start looking, or the reasons why it is inadvisable to do this.

FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077 So far so good. I think I''ll be putting a little more RAM in the box soon just on general principles as xen does increase the overhead a bit, but I''m certainly not complaining! Thanks again.
