Hi list,
this is my first post to devel list, so... if I make a mistake... please
tell me.
XEN version: 3.1.0, compiled from sources
I am trying to boot a HVM FreeBSD (migrate via Linux dd), this is the
domU config file:
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = ''hvm''
memory = 1024
name = "galileo"
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/mapper/vg00-galileo,ioemu:da0s,w'' ]
cpus = "0"
device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
ne2000=0
boot=''c''
sdl=0
# enable VNC library for graphics, default = 1
vnc=1
# enable spawning vncviewer(only valid when vnc=1), default = 1
vncviewer=1
vncdisplay=5
and this is the issue
riemann:/home/install# xm create /etc/xen/galileo-config.sxp
Using config file "/etc/xen/galileo-config.sxp".
VNC= 1
Unexpected error: exceptions.OSError
Please report to xen-devel@lists.xensource.com
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/xm", line 10, in ?

File "//usr/lib/python/xen/xm/create.py", line 1054, in make_domain
os.kill(vncpid, signal.SIGKILL)
OSError: [Errno 3] No such process
The problem, in my opinion is located in the following line:
disk = [ ''phy:/dev/mapper/vg00-galileo,ioemu:da0s,w'' ]
If I sustitute da0s by hda this traceback is not shown, but then BTX
(the FreeBSD boot loader) hangs when it try to boot the kernel.
Any ideas? Can I send more usefull information?
Regards,
Marc

Can I send more usefull information?I believe that vmxassist doesn''t work with the FreeBSD bootloader. The only reports of success that I''ve seen have been running FreeBSD as an HVM guest on AMD processors. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Hi Keir, you was write, after testing with an AMD processor all works like a charm, so.. the same problem that I had with an HVM Solaris 10. In my modest opinion... I think that will be interesting to put in the official documentation the advantages and dissadvantages about Intel and AMD processors.

It''s just software that''s missing some fixes. Those fixes will come about at some point. john _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
