I will be soon getting a core 2 duo cpu and was hoping to be
able to run
unmodified guests systems :(
I'll be there if tests are required about ACPI, SMP, 64
bits support, VT, ...
Thanks for the great work Manuel !

ACPI is almost there. I have it working in my private tree,
but it touches
some x86/ files. I posted the patches to the relevant
mailing lists and I'm
waiting for comments before commiting.

xentools30 ?
Thanks

I didn't build out of the box and I didn't have much time
to spend on
it (my goal was to have basic tools working to start a
NetBSD domU in a
NetBSD dom0). I don't think it needs a lot of work, just
nobody has done it
yet.

J'aimerais aider dans la limite de mes possibilités.
Devrais-je commencer à lire quelques docs avant de me lancer
dans pkgsrc ?
J'ai de la peine à comprendre comment tu exclus certaines
choses d'être compilé
(patcher le Makefile original?)
Tu penses que tu aurais quelques minutes à m'accorder de
temps à autre ?
Merci
