Re: Running Xen on mini/i386 ?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

any feedback on using Xen on an Intel Mac Mini ?
especially on the following points :
- with a recent OPF, does it boot straight away, without bootcamp ? I read
that on /i386 but as Xen boots using Grub, there may be differences ?

I'm also very interested in this. In <20070311174938.GA19935%panix.com@localhost> Thor Lancelot Simon wrote that

Again, no. The latest EFI firmware for the Mini will launch a traditional PC BIOS and boot from an MBR partition if it sees no GPT partition table
on the disk.  But you must have the latest firmware.

This sounds like it ought to be possible to boot via grub from the PC BIOS and that way get the Dom0 running as usual. But has anyone actually suceeded with this?

Regards,

Johan
