RE: Is it possible to install L4 on Xen as a guest?

Hi Jan, 

Any of those methods is OK for us. (Full-virt or Paravirt) 

We are planning to manage manycore machines using the xen+L4 combination.
Also, we will make some changes on each layer for the application specific
system. 


According to the xen wiki, 
It doesn't list L4 on the supported OS list for full-virtualization.
So, I asked the question for HVM(or full-virt) case. 


I didn't even expect the paravirtualization case. 
Is it also possible? Then, it will be more good for us. :)

Please, give me more information about this issue. 

Thanks!
