RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] Hi, a question about 32bit OS running at xen-ia64

["Magenheimer, Dan (HP Labs Fort Collins)" <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxx>]

If you are trying to run a specific app that runs
on 32bit Red Hat Linux (without porting or recompiling),
you may be able to run it using ia32el (the Intel IA-32
Execution Layer**) on a Red Hat ia64 guest OS running
on xen-ia64.  However as others have pointed out,
xen-ia64 doesn't support running 32 bit OS's directly.

Has anybody in the Xen/ia64 community tried ia32el either
on a PV guest or a vti guest?

Dan

** Google doesn't reveal much information on ia32el which
might imply it is not widely used.  This link might help:

Others at Intel might be able to point to better docs.

        hi,guys.
         
         
            I guess it may seem pretty much weird. I am not sure if
32bit OS such as 32bit Red Hat Linux distribution can run at xen-ia64?
         
            I really appreciate any suggestion, thanks a  million.
         
         
        Tom
