Re: [Xen-users] XEN Howto/ Host FC7 Guest Windows Me or Xp



These are Dual processor Dual core Xeons in IBM x345 Rack servers and dual core dual opterons SUN V20Z's running in Raq. All my servers Both Intel and AMD support Hypervisors as Intel and AMD both made the VMX code availably to XEN for their dual core versions as I could remember.
As an example/usr/sbin/xend is running and VMX is enabled in the bios.

You need to have support for HVM in your processor. Since you don't
mention anything about it, I take that you're not knowing whether your
processor supports it or not... If you do a xm dmesg | grep -i vmx
from your dom0 and it doesn't give you anything, chances are that your
processor doesn't support HVM.

I searched the archives but could not find a concise HOWTO for
installing ME or XP as guest on FC7 as host.
Note: I have XEN running on FC7 and it flashes the XEN banner at
machine boots up, so the Kermnel is enabled.

I tried to work from this
"http://www.broermann.com/howto_amd_hvm.html"
but it was pretty vague.

If someone can point me to a HOWTO I would greatly appreciate it.

ALSO:
Is there out of the box tcp/ip support through the host (like win4lin?)
Which periferals works. serial ports? parallel ports usb?

Thanks.
