Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 for Xen 3.0 - now with added PAE
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 09:53:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <caa58e250fec949a622f135af2b0fce8@hamnavoe.com> (raw)

The Plan 9 kernel for Xen 3.0 in /n/sources/contrib/xen/xen3 now
supports PAE mode, which is the default for distributions like Debian
and virtual hosting providers like Amazon EC2.

PAE only really makes sense (if at all) on 32-bit machines with more
than 4GB of RAM, but lacking such a machine myself I haven't been able
to test for the case of physical page addresses exceeding 32 bits.  If
any volunteer with access to "big iron" running Xen 3 would like to
try it out, it would be much appreciated.
