[xenpreview-dev] No VMX-guests on Intel Xeon/VT

[Thorolf Godawa]

Hello again :-)

after I tried it with the x86-64-Version of SLES and it failed, I also 
tried it with the i386-version of SLES 10.0 Beta1.


I installed SLES 10.0 beta1 i386 on the Xeon-machine with VT, but I only 
get "unknown image type: vmx" if I try to start a VMX-domain!

Does Intel/VT works only in 64 bit-mode (with SuSE x86-64-kernel) or 
also in 32 bit-mode (i386)?


OK, the following is what I get with the latest SLES Beta x86-64:

I just installed the latest SLES 10.0 Beta1 x86-64 (2006-1-19), during 
installation there where just a litte thing (compat-32bit 2006.1.13-2 
conflict because libcrypto.so.0.9.7 and libssl.so.0.9.7 are not 
available, but there is the 0.9.7), the rest was running quite good, 
even the network-adapter is recognized correct now!


The standard-kernel ist booting as expected the system, but if I try to 
install s.th. with YaST it didn't let me select anything and there are 
no package-descriptions at all.

But even this could be acceptable because I just want to use XEN!


So I started the XEN-kernel (2.6.15-git12-6-xen) and what do I get:

not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
$
aaarg ...


The first thing is:

Any ideas?
