Is that a quad-core CPU or a quad-CPU system? If it's a quad-core CPU, it should support Intel hardware virtualisation feature. If it does, you don't need any Xen patches or support in FreeBSD. Just create a Xen VM that supports hardware virtualisation (not a paravirtualised VM) and install FreeBSD as per normal. That's the beauty of the Intel VT and AMD VX (or whatever they call it now) features -- no need to patch an OS to run in a Xen VM. -- Freddie Cash, LPIC-2 CCNT CCLP Network Support Technician School District 73 (250) 377-HELP [377-4357] fjwcash+freebsd@gmail.com
