[opensuse-virtual] Xen was loaded above 4Gb
by Gary Lin 11 Jan '17

Hi, I'm trying to install the Xen server (openSUSE 42.2) in a machine with 16GB RAM. After installing the hypervisor tools, if I choose the hypervisor option in the grub2 menu, a message showed quickly and the system backed to grub2. It stated: "Xen must be loaded below 4Gb." Is there any parameter to work around this? Thanks, Gary Lin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-virtual] Xen 4.8 plans?
by lists＠ssl-mail.com 04 Jan '17

04 Jan '17

What are the plans for build & support of Xen 4.8 pkgs in the Virtualization repo? It's starting to be available in some distros, for example https://packages.debian.org/stretch/xen-hypervisor-4.8-amd64 Unless I missed it, there's no discussion yet on this list, and nothing in buildsystem even for Tumbleweed. Some idea of if & when Opensuse will have it would really help in planning. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner(a)opensuse.org
