Note: since GNU Mach doesn't handle PAE, you need a PAE-disabled Hypervisor. - Copy `gnumach-xen` and `hurd-modules` to your dom0 /boot. - Copy `hurd` into `/etc/xen`, edit it for fixing access to your hurd / and swap - Run `xm create -c hurd`, gnumach should get started. - If `xm` complains about networking, it's Xen fault, see Xen documentation for how to configure the network. The simplest way is network-bridge with fixed IPs. If you want to generate these images, first get the `gnumach-1-branch-Xen-branch` branch from gnumach CVS. Then look for "Ugly" in `kern/bootstrap.c`, how to generate `hurd-modules` is explained there, and you'll have to fix `EXT2FS_SIZE` and `LD_SO_SIZE` by hand. Then use ./configure --enable-platform=xen make Instead, you can get the binaries at . The current `hurd-modules` was built from the debian packages `hurd 20070606-2` and `libc0.3 2.6.1-1`.
