Doesn't KVM requires hardware virtualization? Also Xen is
supposedly faster on most benchmarks. Choice 2, while not
ideal, makes the most sense to me.
That's what I decided too. yes, xen is 6x faster than kvm right now.
At the same time, I'm getting lots of input from folks in the business
that they expect kvm to win in the long run. But, for now, Xen is it.
I'm trying and failing to get X started in THX. X starts, but never
gets the keyboard. I think it's because the tty control is never
really started up. You can't do ctl-alt-f1, for example. Also, if I do
the magic sysrq sequence it works fine.
I hate to ask an X11 question here, but what would cause X not to be
able to grab keyboard?
