Re: [Xen-users] Solaris 10

Jon,

S10 HVM DomU would be 32-bit at Xen 3.3 Linux Dom0 (64-bit).
Through my experience attempt to load amd64 solaris kernel
always fails. S10 may be also installed in stub domain
at Xen 3.3 Linux Dom0 (64-bit):-

http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2008/09/27/getting-stubdom-working-on-xen-33-port-via-httpwwwgitcoderepoxen330-to-centos-52/

However, having Solaris Nevada (say b98) in Dom0
S10 (05/08) HVM will be installed in 64-bit mode via virt-install
by default (and it will cause performance degradation).
S10 (10/08) is supposed to be out in the mid of October.
Sun planned this release to have PV drivers.
Not sure would it work only at Nevada Dom0 or Linux Dom0 also.
Actually, i am not sure would it work anywhere or no ?

Thank you Boris!

I just needed to know if it worked before I kept smashing my head 
against a wall trying to make it work. Also, thanks for sharing your 
config file.

One more question if you don't mind, does it have to be 64bit on a 64bit dom0?
