> And turning of the TSC bit (for 32-bit guests). Turning off the TSC bit will break 64bit Linux (it checks if the cpuid bits have minimum supported features) and you don't know in advantage if a guest is 32bit or not.
Ok there is a special BIOS call that the kernel issues to tell the BIOS that it is 64bit -- in theory you could intercept that one and then disable the TSC bit, but it doesn't sound very clean. Also that call wasn't in the very first 64bit kernels. -Andi ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
