Re: [Xen-users] Motherboard suggestions for Core 2 Duo running Xen

["Peter Braun" <xenware@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

Any progress with Intel DG965GRY?

So what is the actual status under XEN?
Which version do you use: 3.0.2 or 3.0.3?
HVM working?
SATA working at full speed?
Especially I am interested if the Intel gigabit NIC (82566DC) is working under xen.

I just found on the internet following success story of Core 2 Duo and XEN:

Asus P5LD2-VM

I just bought this motherboard earlier this week and everything worked out of 
the box on openSUSE 10.2 alpha4:

- i945 graphics, with 3d support (xgl works, too)
- SATA
- PATA (There are two different PATA controllers. They both work)
- Gigabit LAN (e1000!)
- Sound works for the most part, but there were a couple of glitches. I 
haven't had time to delve into this, so I'm not sure exactly what the problem 
is yet


Xen works great, too. You have to enable "Virtualization Technology" in the 
BIOS before you can create HVM domains, though.

We purchased a box with a Core 2 Duo (E6400) for the purpose of running
Windows Server 2003 on Xen. The motherboard that came in the box was an
Intel DG965RY, using the G965 chipset. We chose Suse 10.1 (we used
x86_64) as the host operating system primarily because it was the only
distro that would install. We have determined that the PATA controller
and the network adapter on the motherboard are not currently Linux
compatible (initially solved by using a Broadcom network adapter and a
USB CD-ROM drive). We then figured out that Suse chose the "VESA
Framebuffer Graphics" driver for the video adapter, which does not work
under the Xen kernel. Does anybody have a suggestion of a motherboard or
chipset that is compatible with the Xen kernel that will accept the
E6400 CPU?
Thanks.
Michael
