BTW if anyone (I've seen a few Xen emails like the one where the AMD
package disappeared only to be replaced by a 686 based Xen package that
crashed) would like to set up a Debian Xen thread maybe we could help
one another as it seems that this virtualization thing does not interest
most people. But I think it's the future for computing.
Thanks to all and SNIP away at what you don't want and comment on what
you do want -- I welcome the dialog.
I run currently a Development-Workstation where I need to run Debian
(Unstable, Testing, Stable and Oldstable), (K)Ubunto, Embedian, Redhat,
Novel/SuSE and Mandrake/Mandrive in parallel.
For this I use chroots which are startet directly from an INIT script.
I like to drop the Chroot stuff and want to switch to Xen but encountered
massive errors and bugs...
I was using an Amd Athlon XP 3000+ using Xen-k7 (Installed form DVD).
Then after an Online-Upgrade it was gone and since then I have no
Machine anymore. Installing chroots again to get my Machine working
took me over one week... (I run 8 X-Server parallel)
Now, my CPU is gone (Socket A and I do not find a Used one from a
trustfull source) I replaced the mainboard with an GA686LX and a P2/333
with 512 MB of memory and Xen worked again...
But running 8 X-Server in Parallel is not realy recommended on this
machine. :-)
I have tried to compile my own Xen-Kernel but failed...
Is there a Step-by-Step docu/howto HOW to build your OWN Xen-Kernel
on a Debian-System?
Yes, but I will have to find it as it's been about 2 years since I was involved
with Xen Development. I do recall a recent Xen list member asking for the
same information which is apparently tucked away on one of their web pages.
And of curse, which packages must I install t get this Pig running with
a K7?
OT-Question:
Is there someone who want to sponsor (or give up an unused) a AMD
Athlon XP with at least 2400MHz (and mybe some PC2700 512MByte or
1 GByte memories) for Development? I am in Strasbourg/France.
Address and Telephone is in the signature.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
