Hi All,Just curious if anyone is currently using Xen 3 on any of the new Intel Xeon processors that support the VT-x extentions. With the VT-x (or AMD's Pacifica) you can run unmodified guest operating systems...so we are looking into buying a new server to run a few virtual machines of CentOS & a few with Windows. If anyone has done this, I would love to hear about their success/struggles...Thanks!--BillBill Baird

I´ve got such a machine (Intel SMP+VT) and now I want to test it with Xen. I´d like to know how to install something (like Windows XP (: ) via VT on it.
It seems to me that Xen is not stable yet. I´ve read somewhere that Redhat´s gonna ship it in December 2006.
At this moment I´m trying Xen LiveCD 1.5 under Vmware - it´s really beautiful, although not really using VT yet (Vmware doesn´t offer VT support to the virtual machines, I thing). It has the option to create some Debian, OpenSuse and/or Centos guest OSes. I´ve got some screenshots too.
I have a little problem with disk partitioning: there is a bad block in my hard disk and therefore Acronis PartitionExpert (running Windows XP) will not accept to change the *big* partition (need to free some space for Linux). I need another tool. If you have any sugestion, please tell me.
