I have both windows and linux guests, and I have 2 efw firewalls running virtual for myself, and one as a vm for a customer.
I cant get the linux drivers installed on any of them for the same reason you cant, but I find the performance perfectly acceptable. My customer has about 40 users, and two permanent (more or less) remote users by openvpn. Runs great, alongside a win2003 Server vm that's used to share a volume for backups. I dont think I said I experienced any bad performance. I just havent noticed any perfomnace gains using virtio drivers versus using the e1000 emulation. And yes, centos 5.4 is kernel 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5. But the performance is better on it than my tests with xen or kvm on ubuntu, for example. And even though Fedora 11 has the newest kernel and kvm versions, VMs running on centos are more stable and the tools like the virtual machine manager work better. Anyway, good luck to you. I'd like to hear if you find a way to get the drivers installed. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Devel-tools-for-driver-compilation-tp26200823p26225439.html Sent from the efw-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
