[Xen-devel] Xen on Bochs

["Richard W.M. Jones" <rjones@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As a sort of evening/weekend project I've been trying to boot Xen on
Bochs.  Latest version of Bochs, compiled with x86_64 support.  Latest
unstable Xen (as of yesterday), also compiled for x86_64.

Currently dom0 oopses on boot as below.

I'll probably look into why this is happening later on, but just
wondered if anyone had any comments - eg. they've seen this before, or
running Xen on Bochs is a fool's errand, or whatever.

Rich.

Software IO TLB enabled:
  Aperture:     2 megabytes
  Kernel range: ffff880000967000 - ffff880000b67000
  Address size: 25 bits
PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)
Memory: 929016k/962352k available (1992k kernel code, 24512k reserved,
866k data
, 172k init)
calibrate_delay_direct() failed to get a good estimate for loops_per_jiffy.
Probably due to long platform interrupts. Consider using "lpj=" boot option.
