Xfce Buildbot Server - Call for Donations

[samuel]

To pick up the topic again...

Just to keep you guys up 2 speed of what is happening.

1. The machine is installed.
2. I concluded that the machine does not support hardware
virtualization (so no kvm or Xen) as HP didn't implement this in their
bios. (even their latest bios release doesn't support it)
3. I send a mail to HP support to request a better bios... no answer...
4. Brian and others in #xfce-dev have tried enabling hw virt with both
user space code as kernel mode code... fail...
5. We have some contacts with a coreboot developer that ported
coreboot to this machine. He said there are problems with it and now
we are trying to figure out if they are fixable. If they are fixable
we could enable hardware virtualization like that... big IF...

6. The new cpu's for the machine arrived... I have a couple of
2218HE's inside now... (2.6Ghz opteron)
7. I uploaded some pics of the machine to

If anyone knows a solution for the hardware virtualization problem
please contact us.
But right now it looks like the server will ship to Sweden this week
or next week without hardware virtualization, which would be a pity...
