RE: [Xen-users] Installing Xen on a Toshiba A200



Matthew,

 

What kind of issues are you running into? As far as I know running Xen on a laptop is ok (I used to do it, but I ran into disk I/O problems that would make my system sluggish if I was doing any work in my windows domU).

 

The steps I took were:

 

1.       Install your favourite distro (Fedora/Ubuntu/RHEL)

a.       I prefer Fedora but Ubuntu is good as well, CentOS or RHEL on a laptop isn’t so great

2.       Install XEN packages or compile from source

3.       Install any drivers that aren’t there (main culprit for me was the display driver)

 

Keep in mind that you may as well install the distro’s xen package as it usually configures your kernel and drivers for you.

 

Best of luck,

 

-T
