Hi all !

I have a notebook with VIA C3 processor and would like to install Xen.

It would have to work with this processor ?

I knew that old versions of xen did not work with VIA processor.

Thanks in advance

roberto


You'll need to look at the processor flags from
cat /proc/cpuinfo

There's one particular flag that you need that is only present in newer VIA C3 CPUs. I forget which one (maybe CMOV ?), but a bit of googling will tell you. I think there maybe some discussions in the list's archive.
