do you know how could I install newer version of XEN, as you mentioned
xen-3.1-testing, in fedora core I use? i tried yum install xen but it
does not give me any newer version. do you know where could i find i.e.
repositories for yum(which would be more confortable) or sources or
package i could use? \
as you can see, i use Intel processors, which might be the problem as
you mentioned...
the thing is, i need DOS to run pharlab under it. i used qemu before. I
run DOS successfully, but than when i was trying to run pharlab, it
died with some other problem i cannot find even mentioned on internet,
as pharlab is not usual software to use(it is kind of telecommunication
switching centre running on proprietary HW up on DOS)
any idea?
THANKS. TOMAS

Subject: [Xen-devel] running {MS/free}-DOS under XEN
Hi there.
I was looking around for a log time but I did not find any
user who would be able to run MS-DOS or freeDOS under Xen. I
use vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2316.fc5xen kernel and when I try to
boot MS-DOS 7.1 it freezes with message shown in attachement
1. Also freeDOS freezes with message as in attachement2.
I tried to install these two systems from the same iso image
under qemu and it went OK so it seems that XEN there is some
issue with XEN and DOS running together.
Which version of Xen is this ("xm info" will give you version numbers),
and is it an AMD or Intel processor you're using?
I have recently (and succcessfully) run MS-DOS 6.22c on an AMD-V capable
processor with xen-unstable, changeset circa 14800. I expect this will
work on the latest xen-3.1-testing version as well. Whether it works on
older versions, I'll let you figure out.
On Intel processors, there is a potential problemm in that these
processors don't support native real-mode in virtualized mode. This
means that the guest has to trick around with "vm86-mode", which causes
problems particularly with dos-extenders that switch from real mode to
protected mode and back again [the real problem here is maintaining the
extended segment values that may have been set during the excursion to
protected mode - if there is no segment values "expected to survive" the
transition, it should work just fine to switch between modes on Intel
processors too].
