As Greg mentioned, PV-scsi drivers are good when implemented. There is also unmerged PV driver for ide disks developed by RedHat. By the end of the year we'll probably handle it better. > >2* When will smp be supported in the VM ?

It's work in progress, the current state is that smp Linux can boot but it's not stable yet. I guess it's a matter of several months to stabilze. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
