Hi

 Can Anyone let me know how to enable/disbale the TSC Emulation register on Xen Guest (XenU)???

Suppose I wanna use the apparent time of Host OS instead of using emulated TSC register, how can I configure to use it??

Cheers:)

I suspect "poor" describes Xen as well. I keep seeing messages on the
console of various HVM's I have which say something about unstable TSC
values off by some 6 or 7 digit number of cycles.
