Re: [Xen-users] xen 2.0.7 on VIA C3 (EPIA)
I tried xen (2.0.6 stable and 3.0 testing with linux as dom0) with a 1
GHz fanless VIA MS10000E mainboard. It has a Nehemiah core and boots
under xen without need for patches.
But I had other problems with that mainboard. On a "shutdown -r now"
the board shuts down and freezes (instead of rebooting) - not good for
the intended purpose as groupware server / proxy / firewall. This
problem should not be xen related as the same happened under unmodified
linux kernel. Please inform me if your experience with your new board
are better.
I personally prefer the older 500 MHz VIA Samuel C3. It does not have
this reboot problem and consumes even less power (but has its 4kb and
cmov restrictions).
regards
I heard reports that the C3 Nehemiah core in the (EPIA M10000 etc) is
a more fully rounded i686, supporting both CMOV and the page sizes Xen
expects to use, so I've orded a CL10000 board. It's clocked at 1Ghz,
and has Dual LAN on board, so I'm expecting it to offer additional
flexibility for my Xen environment. I think the CPU still only
consumes around 14 watts at full load, so the whole thing will still
offer excellent power efficiency. I'll report back on my progress with
this board later in the week.
