Maybe you are looking for .img files, containing a root filesystem of some Linux distribution? In this case I think it is difficult. Few years ago there was stacklet.com that was giving these images for free. But now they want money, so I had to make the .img files by myself (and I think it is even better). The url is: http://stacklet.com/downloads/info/xen3 Check this out.

The website has PV .img files but no HVM .img files. I try to create HVM .img file by myself but no luck. Is there a website that I can get some info? Thanks.

This is normal in the case of (for example) virtual disk image (xen, virtualbox, SAN storage, whatever). Most OS installer can handle that. If your OS installer doesn''t. then ask in their respective support/forum/list. If it can be installed in virtualbox/vmware/external SAN disk, then it can be installed in Xen. It''s often is as simple as that. A different issue is if the installer doesn''t detect the disk at all, but that doesn''t seem to be your case. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Excuse me, but may I ask you what is the purpose to setup a hvm domU if the guest operating system is Linux? Wouldn''t be better to use paravirtualization? I use the hvm only for unmodified operating system, like Windows for instance. -- Flavio _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I am working on GPU passthrough. I tried PV DomU but didn''t work. From the information I read it seems that I need to have HVM DomU for PCI passthrough. I am creating an image file for HVM DomU. If this is not the case, please let me know. Vic ________________________________ From: Flavio <fbcyborg@gmail.com> To: Fajar A.

Quick note, xen and hvm, you cannot use sda as the device name, change it to hda or xvda ( i believe that is correct ) On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 12:03 PM, Flavio <fbcyborg@gmail.com> wrote:> On 3 November 2011 16:58, Victor Ling <victor_ling12@yahoo.com> wrote: > > I am working on GPU passthrough.
