Re: [Xen-users] Xen kernel and Vmware Server

["Nick Couchman" <Nick.Couchman@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried this before and have never had any success getting VMware
Server to run on a Xen kernel.  There are some technical things to
overcome with the Linux kernel's access to the hardware, but it also
could be that VMware doesn't want this to work.  I've never actually
gotten the VMware Server kernel modules to compile on a Xen kernel -
they always seem to fail.
