The good news is that it works! (And not just for me!) The bad news is that I haven't written any documentation and now I'm going to be offline (moving to a farm) for several weeks. Nonetheless, if you're the kind of person who wants to poke around with hypervisors, no doubt you can figure it out. Tony Breeds might even write a HOWTO. There's certainly a lot to be done (see FIXMEs in the code for example). Console device, block device and inter-domain networking all work. From here it should be easy 8) So, you can download the patch "lhype.patch" from the paravirt mercurial patch queue. It should apply by itself to a recent -mm tree. http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/paravirt Thanks, and have fun playing! Rusty.
