Xen project Mailing List

Thanks a lot!

Wait! If I understand well enough your own setup, I don't need to run on bare metal!

I missed the point, and apologize about that.

If I recap:

- start a VirtualBox VM with a Linux distrib (presumably 64 bits)

- install Xen 4.2 inside that VM, so I guess in your case your Ubuntu 13.04 is running within your Dom0

- run MirageOS inside a Xen VM

- which works because it's using the PV approach, I guess

- I won't be able to run a native Linux distrib in a DomU... but I don't care.

If that works, you saved my day! No need for any Intel-VT or AMD-SVM support!

Thanks again

François

no problem, this is the right place :)

cool! hopefully the install and hello-world instructions are iterating towards being mostly correct then :) (assuming you used those?)

as i understand it, either should work -- personally i experiment using Xen 4.2 on ubuntu 13.04 (inside a Virtualbox VM on my mac)... i'd say give 4.0 a try (others have more experience Xen on the list than me though).
