Xen is a virtual machine monitor for x86 hardware (runs only on
|
|
i686-class CPUs), which supports running multiple guests operating
|
|
systems on a single machine. Guest OSes (also called "domains")
|
|
require a modified kernel which supports Xen hypercalls in replacement
|
|
to access to the physical hardware. At boot, the xen kernel is loaded
|
|
(via grub) 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 Xen3 kernel itself.
