Comment 18 for bug 71348

Meanwhile I got myself a new CPU, an Intel with the virtualisation Extension to run native OS'es - right now I'm running a custom Kernel (made with the ubuntu-xen-source), as I tried to have fbcon, which for some reason I was not having with the default kernel and still don't have with my custom kernel.

Anyhow, right now I'm running some >50 domains without a crash.... though native (read: vmx) ones.

I haven't tried any of the xen-modified guests (well, I lost them with the new disk-layout and haven't created new ones yet) - so I can't say, if my problems still persist with the new CPU if I run xen-modified Systems.

Though I do have one off-topic hint - I'm running the base (dom0) on a USB CF, which is rather slow - so to startup 50 systems, xen does a lot in the xenstore directory /var/lib/xenstored, which basically makes the system crawl, I changed that now to a tmpfs... and it has now a lot of speed (though it could be faster for my taste....), but I fear suspend won't work anymore, but that is none of my concern.

regards
