Tor and Xen and such, Flash BIOS « D-kriptik Blog So, I setup a Tor server in a Xen virtual machine on Ubuntu running on that J7F4-based system over the weekend. Right now, no custom kernel and no crypto hardware acceleration, but that will change when I have some more time. The general setup was easy enough. I had one primary disk for booting the box’s OS (or dom0 when booting for Xen), and then a separate disk array for data (and domU’s). I used LVM to slice up the disk array. General setup process: Installed Ubuntu on the primary disk.Installed Xen from the Debian/Ubuntu packages.Used LVM to create volumes for root (512MB), swap (512MB), and var (2048MB) for my VM to run Tor.Used mkfs (and mkswap) to pop the fs on the volumes.Used debootstrap to install the base Ubuntu feisty OS files on the root volume I created for the VM to run Tor.Created a tor VM configuration. Next steps: Build custom kernels for Dom0 and DomU. Possible other next steps: Annoying issue: Anyone out there running have J7F4 series board with the RAM maxed out?
