<damo22>now i know why gnumach-xen is not in the unit tests, its difficult to get it to boot at all, you cannot run Hurd as dom0 so you need another operating system to grant a guest so Hurd can run as domU
<damo22>(XEN) Freed 724kB init memory
<damo22>GNU Mach 1.8
<damo22>Running on xen-3.0-x86_32p.
<damo22>panic: Mach cannot run as dom0.
<gnucode>silly question...what is dom0?
<damo22>the first "domain" of the hypervisor
<damo22>it has extra stuff to support booting all the guests or User domains
<damo22>its designed to run many isolated VMs simultaneously on the same hardware
<damo22>but they all share the resources of the host system
<damo22>typically, you cant really "share" a pci card though, but you can divide them up and put them in separate domains
<damo22>see for example, QubesOS
<gnucode>night all!
<damo22>youpi: is there a return code i can use for gnumach tests that means skipping the test because its too broken?
<damo22>i integrated gnumach-xen into unit tests and made it optionally skip all the tests if xen binary is not available
<damo22>but if you supply the XEN_BIN path it will try to run the unit tests as dom0
<damo22>AC_XFAIL_TESTS seems to be unavailable
<damo22>youpi: i mailed in another series for xen, this one could be reviewed before the smp one, because it adds tests first
<solid_black>morning!
