Re: [Xen-users] xen Paravirtualization for WinXP or WinVista on AMD Phenom x4



Keith...

Thank you for your rapid reponse. It almost looks too easy...not Linux-ey at all. I will dive in after the weekend.

FWIW, I am already running VMWare Workstation on my laptop, so will be interested in comparing the two environments WRT performance, usability, etc.

Best,
David

Modified windows was only required in the old days before full
virtualization. Here is an example config for full virtualization:

It is not clear to me whether Windows is supported under xen at this point.

I have built a new machine with an AMD Phenom x4 and 8GB RAM, lots of disk (but FakeRAID, another story), etc., etc. Should be an absolute fire-eater, and able to support multiple concurrent Linux instance for development.
However, some of the Apps I have to useneed to run under Windows XP+.

According to some of the docs, xen will support some xen-ized form of
Windoze under 3.3.1, but it is not clear where I can find the "slightly
modified" form of WinVista or XP that will run happily in a DomU.

Any clues?
