similar to: FreeBSD boot loader on VT-x based Xen system

Hi, Does anybody installed FreeBSD to VT Xen Domain with success? I tired FreeBSD 6.0 Stable installer cd but after the SDL console bing up and the loader was fund I got the following messages scrolling on the console: BTX halted init=0000000d err=00000000 elf=00010046 eip=000090db eax=00050033 ebx=00042820 ecx=00000000 edx=0000a000 esi=00209701 ebi=0001f98 ebp=000d0000 esp=00001800 cs=0008

Thank you. I notice the system then jumps to F000:FFF0 to execute. But because VMX is turned on, switching to real-mode would incur problems? I don’t find any clue to turn on the vm86 mode as Readme in the tools/firmware directory puts.

A "main" function is defined in Xen-3.1.0-source/tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c. In this main function, rombios, vgabios and vmxassist are copied to specified address, with following commands memcpy((void *)ROMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, rombios, rombios_sz); ... memcpy((void *)ETHERBOOT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, etherboot, sizeof(etherboot)); .... But after searching the whole

Hello! I want to run windows in xen. My linux distrution in ubuntu 6.06 amd 64. I downloaded and installed xen 3.0.2 from binaries. I found that hvmloader is not included in binary distribution :-( So I try to compile it from sources. I get following error: cpp -P -DDEBUG -DTEXTADDR=0x000D0000 vmxassist.ld > vmxassist.tmp ld -o vmxassist -m elf_i386 -nostdlib --fatal-warnings -N -T

The stack dump message is white text on black background.

Hi again... The text under "BTX loader..." should appear as a block where each line is 56 characters long. "BTX halted" is on its own line.

Hello, I read in the announce of Xen 3.2.0 released that it has "preliminary support for a wider range of bootloaders in fully virtualised (HVM) guests, using full emulation of x86 ''real mode''" . I''d like to know what is the level of the emulation of x86 ''real mode''? I ask that because I tried to install OpenSuse 10.3 (I used the iso file

Hello... With syslinux pre7, I am consistently getting what looks like a stack dump out of the FreeBSD loader. I have seen this behavior from pxeboot before. Maybe once out of every fifty or so runs of pxeboot, I would see an error message like the one below, but it was both rare and inconsistent. Now I am getting this message every time pxelinux invokes pxeboot: BTX loader 1.00 BTX

All, We are facing some issues bringing up a DomVT on Xen x86_64(changeset 9267). We created a disk image with dd 8 G in size. We then booted an associated Dom-VT with a CD-ROM and did net-install of the sles-9 OS. This completes successfully. Then, when the system is brought around for a reboot (having changed the boot option from cdrom to disk), the system hangs after the line

I upgraded my 7.0 system to 7.1-RELEASE with freebsd-update only to find that it no longer boots correctly, instead crashing with a BTX backtrace. If I break to the loader prompt and use 'ls /boot', I also get a backtrace. A new install of 7.1 on this hardware using a separate SCSI card and drive array also leads to a BTX backtrace. I have copied this below as the first (most

Hello, I wanted to ask if there's a reason efi/wrapper.{h,c} use __uint*_t instead of including stdint.h and using the therein defined uint*_t types? This breaks compilation of the efi blobs on systems with the musl libc since that doesn't define __uint*_t types. -- Simon Thelen

Hi, Was anyone able to run Solaris 10 10/08 as guest under a HVM domU Debian Etch (xen 3.0.3-1) or current Debian Lenny (xen 3.2-1)? In my case Solaris installation stops after boot kernel ; I can''t see anyhing after grub screen. I know that it is possible using Xen 3.3 (see [1]) but I don''t know if it possible with a previous Xen version Thanks, Álvaro [1]

Hi We are experiencing a problem with one of our FreBSD 6.2 machines. The machine has been running fine for months until we had to reboot it. Now it doesn't boot anymore.
