As I undersoon it, Xen implements paravirtualization, meaning that the guest OS must be modified to make calls to the Xen layer instead of to the (virtualized) hardware. There is a modified Linux kernel you must use to run as a guest OS under Xen, for example.
Although with VT being implemented at the CPU level, I understand that unmodified guests can be booted and run. But I'd guess the Xen host should be running on a dedicated system (not a commodity desktop/laptop .. but it's a guess.) -jh On 3/9/08, Eric Auer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, it seems you sent that message twice.
