Hi,
I was looking for any information people may have on running Fedora 8 Xen on a PPC64 platform. Xen appears to support ppc64 but none of the Fedora pages seem to mention it and Fedora doesn't have a ppc64 Xen kernel.
Libvirt & the tools stack is able to build on PPC & we've have patches to fix PPC portability issues. The main blocker is that we don't have a PPC kernel for Xen that is usable. Without that we can't build the Xen userspace.
Anyone taken a swing at this or have any thoughts on where I should focus my efforts?
You should probably ask on the Fedora PPC mailing list
Thanks Dan. The libvirt + tool stack is working fine as your described. Running qemu VMs works as advertised for x86 emulation. I had noticed the Xen userland components missing as well and it makes sense now. Guess I'll focus on the kernel side for now.
Ah, another nice low-volume list :) I see your August thread in their archives: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/fedora-ppc/2007-August/001033.html
I'm going to cross-post for now as responses might be of interest to subscribers of both lists. Any additional comments on the state of kernel-level Xen support from the PPC contingent?
