Xenoppix(Xen3.0.2+KNOPPIX5.0.1)CD is released
Dear,
"Xenoppix(Xen3.0.2+KNOPPIX5.0.1)CD" is released.
Home Page http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/xen/index-en.html
It boots KNOPPIX on Xen HVM Domain on Intel VT (Example: iMac CoreDuo) and AMD SVM.
*It use isolinux + mbootpack instead of GRUB, because the combination
expands bootable machines. It enables Xen to boot on EFI (iMac CoreDuo).
*LCAT(Live CD Acceleration Tool kit : English Manual PDF) is applied
to make fast boot. It was effective on Dom0, DomU and HVM.

Usage
Boot method on isolinux
boot: xen
Default. Linux kernel 2.6.16+xen3.0.2 on Dom0.
boot: xendom0
Linux kernel 2.6.16+xen3.0.2 on Dom0. Memory of Dom0 is limited 512MB.
It is used for Intel VT and AMD SVM.
boot: xenhvm
Linux kernel 2.6.16 on HVM Domain. It is includes "nolapic noapic nosmp noapm" option.
boot: knoppix
For normal KNOPPIX.
Command to run Xen Dom0 and HVM.
knoppixU
To run Xen-Dom0 with CD-KNOPPIX.
CAUTION: Confirm "eth0" is effective because VNC of DomU depends on eth0.
knoppixHVM
To run KNOPPIX on HVM Domain. After running, please select "xenhvm" for
bootable kernel.
Special Usage
You may boot another CD-bootable OS. We could boot HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX on HVM.
*Confirm "eth0" is effective because bridge depends on eth0.
*On iMac, "boot: xendom0 nofirewire" option, because firewire are recoginized eth0 device.
*Download knoppix-fuse-4.0.2_20060207.iso at /tmp/
http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/http-fuse/knoppix-fuse-4.0.2_20060207.iso
*Rewrite "/usr/sbin/knoppixHVM" at knoppix_hvm() as follows.
Before: cdrom = "/dev/cdrom"
After: cdrom = "/tmp/knoppix-fuse-4.0.2_20060207.iso"
*Run "knoppixHVM"
Add boot option "nolapic noapic nosmp noapm". You will find KNOPPIX 4.0.2 on HVM.
CAUTION:
*Update iMac SMC 1.0.1 to boot from CD-ROM. Press the "Option" button at
PowerOn. You find the selection menu bootable device.
*Xen on iMac is not stable. Sometimes Dom0 is rebooted.
*On iMac, boot with "nofirewire" option, because firewire are recoginized eth0 device.

P.S.
We will attend Ottawa Linux Symposium (OLS2006) to presnted "HTTP-FUSE Xenoppix".
http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2006/view_abstract.php?content_key=76
We also exhibit HTTP-FUSE KNOPPIX/Xenoppix Box (SH4-Linux Rooter with TFTP and HTTP Proxy)
at CE Linux Forum DEMO Booth at OLS2006.
