Hi XEN list, does anyone have experience or maybe a brief cook book howto install OSX onto a XEN guest? Thanks a lot, Walter
What system are you attempting to use for xen and osx. I had no issues of running ot xen 5420. google is full of instructions. on running osx xen.

Hi, I might ask my question unclearly, sorry, I have a debian wheezy with XEN 4.3 running and would like to install a DomU guest with OSX 10.8.4. Does anyone have experience or maybe a cook book howto do it? Thanks a lot, Walter From: jacek burghardt [mailto:jaceksburghardt@gmail.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 28.

PV PV is not possible as long as Apple does not implelen xens PV stack into the Darwin / Mac OS X kernel. May be it is possible to do an xen "integration" like on NetBSD which is a "similiar" kernel, but this requires huge high skilled coders resources (if it is possible to get enough open source code by apples darwin kernel source project). 2.) full virtualization Might be "possible", but Mac OS X usually runs only under Mac hardware and in full virtualisation the hardware is fully virtual (and so it is "other" hardware). I'''' not shure where Apple bound the hardware "key" onto - if it is a CPU or PCI device it might be usuable directly with passtrough. But there are "illegal" Mac OSX images out somewhere which could be installed on "non apple" (but provided) hardware. Not tested that yet. It would be nice to see some PV or similiar for Mac OSX in the next as this would be cool on my Mac Book Pro, but i assume this would not take place. 3.) On Mac hardware it makes only real sense to run Mac OSX under PV as the virtualized hardware is not so fitting with an Mac OSX running full virtualized. This means even if you are able to run Mac OS X fully virted on a Apple machine you will lack more features and peformance compared to the bare metal install or other systems on generic hardware. If you want to use it on generic hardware - you may give the "illegal" ways a try... cheers, Niels. -- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT&Internet http://www.syndicat.com
Google is your friend. I found an awful lot of information with a simple query on "osx on xen" Walter Robert Ditzler wrote:> > Hi, > > I might ask my question unclearly, sorry, I have a debian wheezy with > XEN 4.3 running and would like to install a DomU guest with OSX 10.8.4. > > Does anyone have experience or maybe a cook book howto do it? > > Thanks a lot, > > Walter > > *From:*jacek burghardt [mailto:jaceksburghardt@gmail.com] > *Sent:* Mittwoch, 28.

I found an awful lot of information with a > simple query on "osx on xen"ohh, it seems that someone has provided at least some xen drivers (incl. an SMC "emu") for Mac OS to get it running at last full virtualized (QEMU). Last time i''ve fiddled with that such stuff was not available. If someone get''s luck with the full hardware of a Mac (on a Mac) with Mac OSX on xen it would be nice to get/hear a short update about. I''ve not the ressources att (need my Dual boot Mac OSX/Gentoo Linux for audio production project without any spare) to fiddle and try hooking the Mac OSX onto xen byself att. many thanks, Niels. -- --- Niels Dettenbach Syndicat IT & Internet http://www.syndicat.com PGP: https://syndicat.com/pub_key.asc --- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
