Re: [Xen-users] Research -> do participate.....





Question:

- you have Fedora Core 6 as dom0 then you have SuSE10 as domU and on top of this domU you want to install XP??? forget it!

or

-  you have Fedora Core 6 as dom0 and you want XP as domU? where is then the relation to SuSE/Novell?

but probably your BIOS doesn't support Virtualisation... search the entire BIOS for that ... specialy in that places you never think that it could be :-)
