Driver for KVM without EPT support have coredumps and need more works for stable. OpenIndiana(OpenSolaris fork) have xen-3.4.2 with solaris patches - but have no builds for it. I have found sources on opensolaris.org site, port it to userland build system, and try to upgrade to xen-3.4.4. DilOS contain packages with KVM drivers and you can try to use it. I'm interested in XEN on DilOS. --- Best regards, Igor Kozhukhov IRC# igork On 9/17/12 8:37 AM, "Fajar A.
