Re: [Xen-users] Xen/HVM on Intel 965 Chipset, Asus P5B-VM BIOS

[Nils Toedtmann <xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It works!

FC6 runs xen-hvm on an ASUS P5B-VM out-of-the-box (at least with update
kernel 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6xen). The P5B-VM has an intel G965 chipset,
including GMI X3000 graphics adapter and ICH8R SATA controller, the BIOS
revision is 0307. Setting the SATA BIOS option "AHCI", the only problem
left was that FC6 does not recognize the onboard RealTek 8111B GB NIC.
