x86 support
|
|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Gluon can run on normal x86 systems, for example virtual machines

and VPN boxes. By default, there is no WLAN support on x86 though.

The following targets for x86 images exist:
|
2015-05-16 13:02:47 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`x86-generic`
|
|
|
|
|
Generic x86 support with many different ethernet drivers; should run on
|
|
|
|
|
most x86 systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are three images:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `generic` (compressed "raw" image, can written to a disk directly or booted with qemu)
|
|
|
|
|
* `virtualbox` (VDI image)
|
|
|
|
|
* `vmware` (VMDK image)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These images only differ in the image file format, the content is the same. Therefore there is
|
|
|
|
|
only a single `x86-generic` sysupgrade image instead of three.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that the `x86-generic` image doesn't include VirtIO support, so another virtual NIC
|
|
|
|
|
like `pcnet32` must be chosen when using VirtualBox.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`x86-kvm`
|
|
|
|
|
The `x86-kvm` image uses VirtIO as its harddisk and network driver.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`x86-xen_domu`
|
|
|
|
|
The `x86-xen_domu` target contains the necessary drivers for use in Xen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`x86-64`
|
|
|
|
|
64bit version of `x86-generic`. Also has VirtIO support, so there's no need for an
|
|
|
|
|
`x86-64-kvm` target.
