Just wanted to point out that Fujitsu is actively testing (I think once per week) new Xen versions from the development tree on Itanium and also developing Xen on Itanium. see xen-devel mailinglist archives for their test results etc. There's also separate mailinglist for xen on ia64: archives: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-ia64-devel/ Although Itanium seems to be losing it's position now with the new Nehalem-EX CPUs.. You might want to check out XCP (Xen Cloud Platform) aswell, if you're planning to switch to x86. It's perfectly capable of running RHEL as a guest :) -- Pasi _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
