Re: [Xen-users] Hardware compatibility - Dell Inspiron 6400 or thinkpad t60?

[Sven Oehme <oehmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running FC5 on a T60p , VT works
out of the box (you have to enable VT support in the bios first), the only
problem right now is the sata support on the current FC5 XEN kernel is
somehow broken, i get a warning like : ata1 is slow to respond  please
be patient and the kernel oops and reboots ...

below)?
Are you running this setup on one of the mentioned machines?
