Hello,


To thank you for telling me if this message is not posted on the good list.

After installing Xen 4 on a workstation HP Z400, the hypervisor is extremely slow, both on a Fedora machine on a Debian Squeeze, whether in 32-bit or 64-bit version.
Unable to install a DomU.

The problem seems to come from the hardware configuration of the HP Z400 - Xeon - W3550-4 processors - 16 GB of memory. I have not found it necessary to modify the setup to solve this problem.

Must pass parameters specific to Grub2?

I want to clarify that the same installation on a machine Nec - Intel Core Duo E4500 - 3 GB of memory works perfectly.

I tried many solutions on the forums, I found nothing.

Below is some information about my setup.

Thank you help me find the solution.
Would this not a bug of Xen in view of my hardware.

Cordially

Pierre
