From what i have understood, next generation CPUs such as Pentium D will integer Vanderpool technology also called IVT, and this technology should enable Xen 3.x to run MS Windows XP without paravirtualization kernel modification, right? If so, here is my question: Will Xen 3.x enable (/do xen developpers plan on enableing) users to run Windows XP NFSrooted (or some sort of "software streamed" Windows XP image on a remote server) ? I've heard about a "int 13 trick" used by proprietary programs redirecting disk accesses over the network. If no Windows-NFSroot is natively supported (i mean as described in the documentation), would Xen be the right place to implement the int 13 trick for diskless Windows? BTW, i run my Linux LFS/BLFS 6.0 NFSrooted box under Xen and it works " 'o good Lord" impressively very great. Great job guys ;-) CH COLLIN ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
