Re: [Xen-users] xen hvmloader gpxe

[ignazio.cassano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I know pxe under xen and kvm is good for linux domu.
But have you ever tried for windows domu using neoware image manager  
streaming or vhdsoft os streaming ? They requires an upgraded pxe.
I am sure kvm does not work if you don't add gpxe support to it.
I am sure Xenserver (from Citrix) does not work (it works only with  
Citrix Provisioning).
