This includes stub domains support, but it should be considered experimental at this time. Stub domains hangs with serial ports, or more more than one virual disk (multiple virtual ethernet have not been tested).

Xen is a hypervisor which supports running multiple guest operating
|
|
systems on a single machine. Guest OSes (also called "domains")
|
|
can be either paravirtualised (i.e. make hypercalls in order to
|
|
access hardware), run in HVM (Hardware Virtualisation Mode) where
|
|
they will be presented with virtual devices, or a combination where
|
|
they use hypercalls to access hardware but manage memory themselves.
|
|
At boot, the xen kernel is loaded along with the guest kernel for
|
|
the first domain (called domain0). domain0 has privileges to access
|
|
the physical hardware (PCI and ISA devices), administrate other
|
|
domains and provide virtual devices (disks and network) to other
|
|
domains.
|
|
|
|
This package contains the 4.8 Xen kernel itself. PCI passthrough is
|
|
not supported. PAE is mandatory; on i386 one must use XEN3PAE_DOM[0U].
