I need a nice soul to post the download links for all the prequisites to compile Vbox from sources in Suse 10 SP2. The binaries do not work in a XEN kernel. I get all kins of errors when compiling the Kernel module. But I have found impossible to find the prereqs.
This is as far a it goes:

Checking for kBuild: found, OK.
Checking for gcc: found version 4.1.2, OK.
Checking for as86: found version 0.16.17, OK.
Checking for bcc: found version 0.16.17, OK.
Checking for iasl: found version 20060127, OK.
Checking for xslt: found, OK.
Checking for pthread: found, OK.
Checking for libxml2:
** not found!

You will have great difficulty using VB under Xen or v.v. They both use the same ring 0 tricks so bump into each other.

Say it in another way: You cant get it working.

ANd before you ask for another VM: Same with Qemu/KQEMU/KVM, VMWARE.

I think Bochs will run (go? slowly move?), because it emulated the processor and has no cpu acceleration.

Other way i dont think that you would use Bochs because it works with a Xen-Kernel :)
