The Xen hypervisor, the powerful open source industry standard for
|
|
virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for
|
|
virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. It
|
|
supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows, Linux,
|
|
Solaris, and various versions of the BSD operating systems.
|
|
|
|
In order to run Xen, you will need to install and boot from the Xen dom0
|
|
kernel. Check README.dom0 (in docs/dom0) for more information on how to do
|
|
that.
|
|
|
|
This requires acpica. mbootback is optional (see below).
|
|
|
|
Since booting Xen kernel with LILO is not supported by default we have to
|
|
use GRUB; alternatively, use mbootpack to create a LILO compatible kernel.
|
|
|
|
GRUB may be installed from Slackware's extra repository. The GRUB package
|
|
is not available from the Slackware x86_64 distribution, but the source and
|
|
a SlackBuild may be found in its extra/source repository.
|
|
|
|
See README.SLACKWARE (which is also installed with the package docs) for
|
|
setup, configuration, and usage hints.
