("xm info" should give version number at least). Setting FFXSR (0x4000) is probably not "permitted", which also gives me the indication that this is a AMD platform. Although, I guess setting that bit shouldn't actually cause a problem as such. It's much more likely that the problem is that you're using pre-3.0.4 version of Xen.

Probably same problem as above, try later version of Xen. The error message about setting FFXSR isn't going to happen on a 32-bit Widnows, as the 32-bit version of Windows doesn't use FXSAVE/FXRESTORE in kernel mode anyways (unless the code specifically asks - but that's relatively rare, so the saving by doing the "fast" version is minimal). -- Mats > > It'll be great to know what might be causing the above problems. > > Thanks, > Abhishek. > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > > -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
