| 14:48 | grifferz | I upgraded to 2.0-testing as of 25/05 and now xend won't start :(. it doesn't give any error whatsoever, it just returns to the prompt. a pidfile is created but the pid doesn't exist |
| 14:48 | grifferz | trying to strace it now |
| 14:51 | grifferz | hmm the xfrd does stay running, that's the oly process that does however |

| 14:58 | grifferz | it tries to find channel.py which I have in.. |

| 14:58 | grifferz | but it never looks there |
| 14:59 | grifferz | the closest it gets is variations on |

| 14:59 | grifferz | = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) |

| 15:48 | Zxcvb_ | will there be any limits to the CPU virtualization once IBM's code is added in? |
| 15:49 | riel | what kind of limits do you mean ? |
| 15:53 | --- | <<-- b2s [~b2s@66.111.53.150] has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) |
| 15:54 | --- | ---> b2s [~b2s@66.111.53.150] has joined #xen |
| 15:56 | Zxcvb_ | riel: like with it would you be able to run software that relies on 32 bit real mode for example |
| 15:56 | riel | 32 bit real mode is a bit far fetched |
| 15:56 | riel | not sure if that would run |
| 15:57 | Zxcvb_ | riel: right now the only way to do it is to either emulate the whole CPU or patch the app as it is loaded into RAM replacing all 32 bit real mode functions with breakpoints and using other software to catch the breakpoint and emulate the function |
| 15:57 | riel | but hey, it _might_ work |
| 15:58 | Zxcvb_ | riel: if real mode and 32 bit flat real mode worked then newxen code could be added to dosbox for a huge speed boost on x86 systems |
| 15:58 | riel | AMD's Pacifica might be a little bit better in the "run virtual machines in strange modes" department - but I'm not sure if that's at a performance cost due to more complexity ;) |
| 15:59 | Zxcvb_ | riel: voodoo is a pain and so is JEMM |
| 15:59 | riel | Zxcvb_: on x86 systems with VT, right ? |

| 15:59 | --- | ---> lilo [~lilo@lilo.usercloak.oftc.net] has joined #xen |
| 15:59 | Zxcvb_ | riel: VT? |
| 15:59 | riel | Zxcvb_: hardware assisted virtualization |
| 16:00 | Zxcvb_ | riel: isn't IBM's new stuff for xen supposed to make xen more like vmware in terms of compatibility? |
| 16:01 | Zxcvb_ | riel: flat real mode software works in vmware but vmware has crappy VESA and sound support |
| 16:02 | Zxcvb_ | riel: supposedly some code was supposed to be added to xen to allow unmodified guest OSes to run |
| 16:03 | riel | vmware has to do some extremely scary things to make that work ;) |
| 16:03 | riel | IIRC x86 has 13 instructions that are simply not virtualizable |
| 16:03 | riel | so vmware has to rewrite all pages with instructions in them on the fly |
| 16:04 | Zxcvb_ | riel: hopefully most DOS games won't use that at all |
| 16:04 | riel | which interferes badly with eg. debuggers |
| 16:04 | riel | I hope Xen won't grow code like that ;) |
| 16:04 | Zxcvb_ | riel: can xen virtualize everything except those 13 instructions? |
| 16:04 | riel | instead, Xen can just rely on the virtualization features in newer CPUs |
| 16:06 | riel | Zxcvb_: with VT (or Pacifica) those instructions become virtualizable |
| 16:06 | Zxcvb_ | riel: what CPU is required for VT/pacifica? |
| 16:07 | riel | very very very new Pentium IV CPUs have the "vt" or "vmx" feature |
| 16:07 | riel | I'm not sure whether they've already hit the market, or are about to hit the market |
| 16:07 | riel | but I know they work very well |
| 16:07 | Zxcvb_ | riel: you wouldn't happen to know the theoretical maximum performance of an x86->x86 dynarec emulator would you? |
| 16:10 | riel | HP's Dynamo project has shown better than native performance in some circumstances |
| 16:10 | Zxcvb_ | riel: that was risc->risc |
| 16:10 | riel | simply because at run-time you can do some optimisations that aren't possible at compile time |
| 16:11 | Zxcvb_ | riel: I doubt even with VT/Pacifica you could handle something as dirty as qemm stealth (put an EMS page frame over the video BIOS area below 1MB and when a video interrupt happens, switch the video bios back to it's original location, handle the interrupt, then move the ems page frame back over the video bios |
| 16:12 | riel | that is an extremely dirty trick indeed |
| 16:13 | Zxcvb_ | riel: JEMM is similar, it moves everything below 1MB elsewhere |
| 16:13 | Zxcvb_ | riel: Privateer used JEMM |
| 16:14 | Zxcvb_ | riel: but I bet even in the Windows/ReactOS world there are drivers (Starforce/Safedisc/etc) that use similar tricks |
