April 12, 201412 yr Hi Guys, After two days of struggling I've finally managed to get xen running on Xubuntu with UnRAID 6 as DomU. I've passthroughed a USB controller, NIC, onboard SATA ports and a Marvell PCI-E SATA III card. Performance seems to be as per native, which is good. These pages are basically how I did it: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=112013 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen And here are the key commands (I may be missing a few as it was trial and error...) sudo apt-get install xen-system-amd64 qemu-common qemu-keymaps bridge-utils xen-utils xenwatch xen-tools xen-utils-common xenstore-utils virtinst virt-viewer virt-manager sudo sed -i 's/GRUB_DEFAULT=.*\+/GRUB_DEFAULT="Xen 4.1-amd64"/' /etc/default/grub sudo update-grub sudo apt-get install bridge-utils Should end you up with xl list showing something... HOWEVER, Now I'm stuck. It seems that nVidia drivers and Xen don't play nice, apparently especially on Ubuntu. I installed the drivers yesterday, which resulted in a Class-A mess requiring me to completely start again. I've read these threads: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/443549-NVIDIA-drivers-with-Xen http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122900 But after going through a few steps of link 2 things have changed with Ubuntu and 13.10... So anyone more knowledgeable than me could you give me a few hints on how to A) Not mess up this working config and B) potentially get my 750TI mining again... Cheers!
