Not to rub it in for anyone (hi Ira), even as I'm writing this email
we're running a Windows XP installation inside a XEN VM running on Debian.
Rub, rub!
Which windows? which Xen? Which CPU?
Xen 3.0.2. I had to apply a patch so that the vmx support be included,
but the maintainer promised me that the package with the patch is
already waiting in "NEW".
The domain0 machine is running Debian Etch, as it does little and is the
hardest to upgrade remotely (the machine goes to a client). The windows
is Windows XP Pro. It is using a LVM over RAID-1 as a "physical disk".
We have had several vnc mishaps during the graphical part of the
installation, so we switched to SDL. I'm hoping that once the actual
system is installed I can switch back, as I don't think it's possible to
start a machine headless and then start SDL at a later point.
The CPU is a Pentium-D 930 dual core. It has VT and XD (aka NX). I have
not tested whether the linux kernel actually picked up on the later and
does non-execute regioning.
I'll also mention that it took us over a month to get the machine. The
price quote had to be revised a lot of times, and when we finally placed
the order, it took over three weeks for the machine to actually arrive.
