Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:25:01 +0100 From: Gary Pennington To: on-all@eng.sun.com, gk@onnv.eng.sun.com Subject: heads up: xVM on Intel hardware is DOA for snv99 (If you do not use xVM on Intel systems, then you can stop reading here.) The putback of: 6742958 Add support for AMD NPT introduced breakage into xVM for the Intel platform in snv99. Nightly builds are also broken since 9/9. If you try to boot xVM on b99 on an Intel machine which does not have support for EPT (Intel Extended Page Tables), then your system will panic with a message similar to those listed in the following CR. The cause is known and a fix will soon be available as documented in: 6749400 hypervisor panics at boot (nv99) Gary ~--
