I think this processor has virtualization technology (vmx > extensions?) so the hardware for testing is there. It sounds like your interest is in virtualization generally and not Xen specifically? If that's the case - and your machine has VMX - then perhaps it would be more realistic for you to jump in (slightly shallower water :-) and try using Fedora 10 KVM? I only say that because you might find it difficult to make any headway building a Dom0 kernel. This is a good starting point: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Quick_Start Feel free to ask KVM questions on this list too ... it's about time we renamed it to fedora-virt@xxxxxxxxxx :-) Cheers, Mark. -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
