[Xen-devel] Vanderpool and Xen 3.0 question !

[Charles Collin <collin_fsb@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The following topic might be a little prematured!

From what i have understood, next generation CPUs such as Pentium D 
will integer Vanderpool technology also called IVT, and this technology 
should enable Xen 3.x to run MS Windows XP without paravirtualization 
kernel modification, right?
If so, here is my question:
Will Xen 3.x enable (/do xen developpers plan on enableing) users to run 
Windows XP NFSrooted (or some sort of "software streamed" Windows XP 
image on a remote server) ?
I've heard about a "int 13 trick" used by proprietary programs 
redirecting disk accesses over the network. If no Windows-NFSroot is 
natively supported (i mean as described in the documentation), would Xen 
be the right place to implement the int 13 trick for diskless Windows?
BTW, i run my Linux LFS/BLFS 6.0 NFSrooted box under Xen and it works " 
'o good Lord" impressively very great. Great job guys ;-)
