hi everyone, I am attempting to port l4 (http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/) to Xen, can you please give me quick pointers how to add a guest OS to Xen?

I have been able to compile xen and boot with it. I have been reading the code and existing documentations, I appreciate if you can help me getting started.

thanks,

Do you aim for a Dom0, a DomU or both?
In any case, you'll have to rewrite things that aren't fully virtualized by Xen. This mainly includes memory management and interrupt handling. For Dom0, you should be able to use the same drivers without modification (not sure though, don't have much experience with Dom0) but you'll need to write the frontend/backend drivers for virtual devices. For DomU, you'll have to write drivers for virtual console, virtual disk and virtual NIC.

Mathieu
