Hello, I''ve a server, running on i686, with linux-vserver enabled which runs severals vservers. I need to configure a spare server for it but the only hardware available at this time in the stock is a PPC G5. Will it work if I use Xen to virtualise a backup of this server ? I suppose it will... but i''ve no certitude so if someone has already tried or if someone knows any limitation that will prevent this configuration to work i''ll appreciate your feedback. Thank you. Regards, Christophe KINNE. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

There''s some early version of Xen for PPC available, but I don''t know how well that works. There was a thread about that recently on xen-devel mailinglist, so you could search the mailinglist archives for that. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I had seen a forum post dated from May 2006 talking about upcomming PPC support that''s why I made a mistake.
