I am part of a group of three graduate students who are planning to port the Darwin OS to run on Xen as a project for an operating systems class. Officially, this is just to get Darwin up and running, but getting OS X running under Xen would be a fun bonus. First, we are wondering if porting Darwin is even necessary or "interesting" anymore, now that Intel has hardware virtualization support. Second, we are looking for technical advice and/or resources from anyone who has experience porting kernels to Xen, or who knows about Darwin/Mach/BSD issues. Finally, if we don't end up going the Darwin route, we are open to suggestions for other Xen-related projects that are interesting and technically challenging. Thanks in advance for you help! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Darwin-Advice--tf3249842.html#a9034068 Sent from the Xen - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
