Download Gentoo LiveCD iso
Go to http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml ; pick mirror you like and download install-amd64-minimal-[0-9]*.iso, for example - this one:
wget http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-iso/install-amd64-minimal-20120621.iso
Mount gentoo LiveCD
# mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom/ # mount -o loop install-amd64-minimal-20120621.iso /mnt/cdrom/ mount: warning: /mnt/cdrom/ seems to be mounted read-only.
Mount usb stick
# mkdir -p /mnt/usb/ # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/
Copy contents of LiveCD to usb stick
# cp -aR /mnt/cdrom/* /mnt/usb/
# mv /mnt/usb/isolinux/* /mnt/usb

Update
# boot-update
Booting in new system
When booting, select regular (non-XEN) kernel at the first time. It is because we don't have XEN userspace tools to operate with yet.
# reboot
Install xen 4.2-unsable
Get current Nvidia flash ROM
# wget http://www.davidgis.fr/download/nvflash_5.100.1_usb.iso.tar.bz2 # tar xvf nvflash_5.100.1_usb.iso.tar.bz2 # dd if=nvflash_5.100.1_usb.iso of=/dev/sdb # reboot
Boot from USB stick
C:\> nvflash.exe --save vgabios.rom
Boot back to the system
Choose non-xen kernel again
Install XEN 4.2
# emerge mercurial yajl dev86 bin86 iasl # rev=25099; hg clone -r $rev http://xenbits.xensource.com/staging/xen-unstable.hg/ xen-unstable.hg-rev-${rev} # cd xen-unstable.hg-rev-25099/tools/ # ./configure # sed '/Werror/d' -i tests/mce-test/tools/Makefile # make FLEX=flex -j 10 # make clean # cd ../ # wget http://www.davidgis.fr/download/xen-4.2_rev24798_gfx-passthrough-patchs.tar.bz2 # tar -xvf xen-4.2_rev24798_gfx-passthrough-patchs.tar.bz2 # for file in xen-4.2_rev24798_gfx-passthrough-patchs/*; do patch -p1 < $file; done
Now the tricky part. You have to tune one of asl-files to support your very own VGA card memory ranges. It goes like there:
# lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GT] (rev a2) # dmesg | grep 01:00.0 | grep mem | head -n3 [ 0.281769] pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 10: [mem 0xf6000000-0xf6ffffff] [ 0.281776] pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 14: [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff 64bit pref] [ 0.281783] pci 0000:01:00.0: reg 1c: [mem 0xf4000000-0xf5ffffff 64bit]
These three ranges goes to tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/dsdt.asl by formula
MaxRange - MinRange + 1
(consider using some hex calculator (emerge wcalc), for example - `wcalc -h`)
In this example this would be:
- 0xf6ffffff - 0xf6000000 + 1 = 0x01000000
- 0xefffffff - 0xe0000000 + 1 = 0x10000000
- 0xf5ffffff - 0xf4000000 + 1 = 0x02000000
Then edit tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/dsdt.asl file as follows:
/* reserve MMIO BARs of gfx for 1:1 mapping */
DWordMemory(
ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed,
Cacheable, ReadWrite,
0x00000000,
0xf6000000,
0xf6ffffff,
0x00000000,
0x01000000)
DWordMemory(
ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed,
NonCacheable, ReadWrite,
0x00000000,
0xe0000000,
0xefffffff,
0x00000000,
0x10000000)
DWordMemory(
ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed,
Cacheable, ReadWrite,
0x00000000,
0xf4000000,
0xf5ffffff,
0x00000000,
0x02000000)
Remember USB stick with vgabios.rom on it we dumped before? Now we need it.
# mkdir /mnt/usb # mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb/ # cp /mnt/usb/VGABIOS.ROM tools/firmware/vgabios/vgabios-pt.bin
Thats it. Now simply (and dirty) make && make install all needed components:
# make xen && make tools && make stubdom # make install-xen && make install-tools PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG= && make install-stubdom
Add following script to /etc/init.d/xen
#!/sbin/runscript

start() {
/etc/init.d/xencommons start
/etc/init.d/xend start
}
stop() {
/etc/init.d/xend stop
/etc/init.d/xencommons stop
}
# chmod +x /etc/init.d/xen # rc-update add xen default
Now you can safely choose XEN kernel - it should be bootable.
# reboot
- install winxp
- integreate
