How to install winxp on Linux via Xen
Hi, All
I have xen3.1.0 installed on FC7. I followed here to instal winxp on Xen+FC7. However, I found my cpu does not support FullVirtualization which means I can not install winxp because no vmx flag on /proc/cpuinfo. some sites suggests to check whether bios has enabled VT. But I do not know how to check it or the cpu can not support installing winxp on linux via xen. pls advise. processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1606.062 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush d ts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4018.62 clflush size : 64 processor : 1 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Genuine Intel(R) CPU 2140 @ 1.60GHz stepping : 2 cpu MHz : 1606.062 cache size : 1024 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr mca cmov pat pse36 clflush d ts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pni monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 4018.62 clflush size : 64 |
Any particular reason why you want to use xen? I think relatively few people are using it to run windows... I would go with Virtualbox. I'm using it, and I can't see how it could get much better. (except for 3d stuff)

Check intels website for your processor, my C2D 5300 doesn't support VT. If it supports VT then look at your bios options.

See:
http://www.google.com/linux?q="/proc...VT flag&num=10 Item #7 (when I ran it just now): Appendix A. Lab 1 Shows (in Google, no click necessary): Code:
egrep -e 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo Since I don't see "vmx" in your "flags:" line, I believe your CPU lacks this feature. Why use Xen? In one word: "freedom" The one Debian developer I know rejects VirtualBox as not "pure", i.e. libre, enough. Specifically, he objects to the terms under which the code he won't be contributing would flow back to the company & its commercial product. |

By that logic he should refuse to contribute to any open source project, because they all contribute to companies like RedHat, Novell, Sun - any company that chooses to use it. |
I think the key is here,
