Intel Vanderpool (VT) on FreeBSD or FreeBSD Xen

2006-07-11 Thread Mohacsi Janos

Dear All,
	Does anybody succeed to boot FreeBSD on an Intel Vanderpool 
capable machine? My colleague tried it and the result is a BTX halt as can 
be seen on the screenshots on page linked. He successfully run unmodified 
Linux, Windows 2003 under Xen virtual machines, but FreeBSD failed in the 
boot phase.

By the way what is the state of Xen port of FreeBSD?

	I already asked these questions on FreeBSD-stable but no 
answers...


Thanks,

I asked the person who wrote vtxassist (only SVM supports paged real
mode) - he thinks that it broke when support for big real mode was
added. He did not seem particularly inclined to fix it. It may be that
Xen's VT-x support is considered less interesting to his organization
now that VMware is free (as in beer).
