Mates, I have a P4 duo-core processor w/1Gig of RAM and plenty of harddrive space.
Hmm. Crud.. i looks like I have 'vme' on both cores: flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 cid xtpr

Does anyone know if vme absolutely won't work? More reading to do...
Sorry - definitely not supporting hardware assisted virtualisation (i.e. capable of virtualising Windows operating systems): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/linux-tip-how-to-tell-if-your- processor-supports-vt/

Jon,
Is that a prohibition on being able to do it at all? Or, is that a performance issue in that you won't be offloading the vt work to the newer vt processor extensions?
That is going to prevent you from doing any hardware assisted virtualisation (i.e. Windows). You will still be able to do para-virtualisation (i.e. other Linuxes/BSDs). This is because there is no version of Windows available with the necessary kernel changes (apparently only one company can modify the Windows kernel...) So in summary, in Xen are you able to: Virtualise unmodified operating systems - no Virtualise modified operating systems via para-virtualisation - yes Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
