<div class="gmail_quote">I'm using kvm in Ubuntu Intrepid x86_64, and I thought kvm could do paravirtualization. So I'll try xen while I'm waiting for a new release of kvm with paravirtualization support. Thanks a lot Cole, you answered my questions! I'm using kvm so I guess that's the problem, then I'll try Xen soon. 2009/1/23 Cole Robinson <<a href="mailto:crobinso@redhat.com">crobinso@redhat.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">Javier Carnero Iglesias wrote: > Hi guys, I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop with an Intel T7200.

(basically, xen or kvm). If you are using kvm, true paravirtualization isn't a valid option, so just choose fully virt. Paravirt, in the sense that we represent it, only applies to xen. Yes, the UI is confusing in this respect, but all that is slated to change "real soon now". If you are using xen, please provide: uname -a virsh capabilities Thanks, Cole </blockquote></div>
