iATKOS ML2 Xen issues

[zephyroth]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to install iATKOS ML2 using Xen 4.6 and regardless the various boot args it leads to a kernel panic saying "can't perform kext scan: no kext summary" (see attached screenshot)

 

I know it has something to do with the kexts cache but booting using UseKernelCache=No, -f or -x doesn't change anything.

I tried to boot directly on the dvd on my computer and it panic like on Xen.

 

My hardware is:

 

Intel Core i7 860

Asus P7P55-D

 

i tried to mount the iso read-write and to remove the cache files it doesn't change anything.

 

Anyone has an idea ?

 

Regards.

EDIT: I tried other distro which panic here too

I answer myself, it has to do with VT-d which I must disable to launch it on my physical machine. Thus I don't see how to make it work using Xen.

Any hint is appreciated because I know it works using VirtualBox with VT-d enabled but I want to use it with XEN.

What kind of commercial spin-off do you see in my post ?
 
As I understand if I told you that I experimented this issue on my physical hardware there were no problem, but there is one if it's on virtualized hardware (thus ... on my physical hardware) ?
 
I found the solution:
 
- Grab the cpuids
- Convert them in binary
- Just past the result in the configuration file of the VM like this:
 
cpuid = [
    '4,0:eax=00011100000000000100000100100001,ebx=00000001110000000000000000111111,ecx=00000000000000000000000000111111,edx=00000000000000000000000000000000',
    '4,1:eax=00011100000000000100000100100010,ebx=00000000110000000000000000111111,ecx=00000000000000000000000001111111,edx=00000000000000000000000000000000',
    '4,2:eax=00011100000000000100000101000011,ebx=00000001110000000000000000111111,ecx=00000000000000000000000111111111,edx=00000000000000000000000000000000',
    '4,3:eax=00011100000000111100000101100011,ebx=00000011110000000000000000111111,ecx=00000000000000000001111111111111,edx=00000000000000000000000000000010',
