Since I've found that my Intel -VT processor doesn't virtualize real
mode... and real mode is used with ISOLINUX boot splash menus... What
are my options for being able to do real mode with a Xen hypervisor?
Qemu? Bochs? Others?
I need this for two reasons, stemming from using all this more as a
workstation...
1. To colaborate with people on projects that need the entire "real
hardware" boot process.
2. To install Linux distros that use fancy ISOLINUX, without shuting
down my machine and booting a normal kernel just to run something like
VMware.
Senario: Oh, I want to try out Gutsy Gibbon in an HVM... Ooops, let
me first shutdown 5 Xen VMs and reboot into a "normal" kernel to do the
install, then I can convert it to a Xen HVM.
This is just painful. (wish I had an AMD) Is their a work around?
Thanks,
Scott
