[LUG] xen virtulisation

 

G'day all,

We have an old server that it dieing.
We have a dependency on a module for a pci card the we are struggling  
with the vendor over, see previous emails...

Out next possible solution is to build a virtual machine and take the  
old machine and dump it into a virtual host.

Can this be done?
I think it can but most setup is by people installing from scratch.

I would like to tar up the old machine and dump into a new virtual  
container and boot it.

Possible or not?

Thoughts.

(my other thought was to take a kernel that is close and hack the  
version number in the kernel to match the version in the module)
