There's a couple reasons for running xen, but the major one for me is to
be able to run XP without having to reboot into it. From reading some
docs though, it seems that I'd need a different CPU from what I have (an
Intel Pentium M processor, basically a Pentium 6 with mobility
technology). So does this suck? Or is it okay?
Secondly (if I get past the first hurdle, above), as is typical, XP was
installed when I bought the machine and I got no install CD. Do I need
an install CD/DVD for XP to make it a domU?
The docs say that ACPI doesn't yet work on xen (meaning my battery's
going to drain faster), but that this should be fixed in future. Has
this future come yet? (Yeah, docs can go out-of-date.)
I'm due for an upgrade, would like to upgrade into xen, but I'm
pessimistic it'll work. Does anyone have any firsthand experience with
any of this or otherwise have authoritative info?
Much appreciated.
Doesn't answer your questions, but this may be of interest when you are
considering using Xen - a quote from the description of Xen in the Yast2
Software Management:
"A port of Windows XP was developed for an earlier version of Xen, but
is not available for release due to license restrictions."
Cheers.
