There's a better than average chance Xen won't work. I don't remember off hand if Xen uses binary translation or if it's just paravirtualization or hardware accelerated virtualization, but binary translation in general uses the ISA significantly differently than regular Linux does. That sort of usage hasn't been a priority. Gabe _______________________________________________ gem5-users mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gem5-users
