Xen, even if you manage to run it, will only work in PV mode (Linux guests only). You cannot run Xen in HW mode in VBox because VBox doesn't provides nested VT-x instructions. VirtualBox cannot emulate Hardware Virtualization instructions, which is a requirement for Virtual Iron AFAIK. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
