Dear,

I found interesting feature of Xenoppix(Xen 3.0).
The kernel with Xen falls down at boot of Xenoppix on Panasonic CW-F4.
However the normal kernel boots correctly.

    CW-F4 Japanese Model (I tried.)
      http://panasonic.jp/pc/products/w4g/
    CW-F4 Oversea Model
    
http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/vModelDetail?displayTab=O&storeId=15001&catalogId=13401&itemId=94956&catGroupId=25095&modelNo=CF-W4GWCFZBM-EC&surfModel=CF-W4GWCFZBM-EC&cacheProgram=11002&cachePartner=7000000000000005702

This behavior is first time. We know some PCs couldn't boot with GRUB.
For example, Sharp PC-GP2-D7E.
   http://www.sharp.co.jp/products/pcgp2d7e/

So, shall we use Xenoppix as a tester to check availability of Xen and GRUB? :-)

 >>Dear,
 >>
 >>We released New Xenoppix (based on Xen3.0, CD size).
 >>  Detail HP http://unit.aist.go.jp/itri/knoppix/xen/index-en.html
 >>   670MB knoppix_v4.0.2CD_20050923_xen3.0-20060104+IPAFont_cdsize.iso
 >>
 >>---------------------------------
 >># New Features
 >>  * Xen is updated to version 3.0. 
 >>  * Host-Xenoppix(Knoppix on Domain0) boots Guest-Xenoppix(Knoppix on
 >>    DomainU) with same kernel and same Root FileSystem.
 >>  * Network is selectable; "Bridge" or "NAT". "Bridge" mode requires
 >>    external DHCP. "NAT" mode is independent of external network, so
 >>    we can boot DomainU without network connection.
 >>
 >># Usage 
 >>  * Boot with "KNOPPIX/Xen3.0" at GRUB menu. 
 >>  * GuestOS(DomainU) is booted from command line. The command name is
 >>    "knoppixU". When "nat" option is added, the network is NAT
 >>    mode. If there is no option, the network is "Bridge mode" and
 >>    requires external DHCP service.
 >>      Example: $ sudo knoppixU nat 
 >>      CAUTION: The console shows boot sequence of GuestOS(DomainU). It
 >>      includes many many Error messages (Examples: Couldnt get a file
 >>      descriptor, mmap /dev/map: Resource temporally
 >>      unavailable). Don't care please.
 >>  * The boot of GuestOS takes about 5 minutes. :-) 
 >>  * Xenoppix on DomainU boots with Full screen of "800x600". The
 >>    Xenoppix on DomainU accepts "shutdown" command . After shutdown,
 >>    it returns to Xenoppix on Domain0.
 >>
 >># Technical Detail 
 >>  * Same Kernel(Linux2.6.13.6+Xen3.0) on Domain0 and DomainU. 
 >>  * Same Root FileSystem(cloop file of CD-ROM) on Domain0 and DomainU. 
 >>  * DomainU maps CD-ROM directly. 
 >>      Description of domain setting file. disk = ['phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc,r'] 
 >>  * Device Mapper is not used.
 >>       The update of GuestOS is covered by"UNIONFS" of original KNOPPIX. 
 >> Thanks Klaus. :-)
