Hi! I''m a total Xen newbie, and I just started reading into all that stuff. Until now I am curious about the following: Where exactly is the kernel of a DomU stored, which is used for booting the DomU? I may be confused by this, but it was mentioned that the Xen Dom0 kernel contains all the necessary hardware drivers, the Xen DomU kernel only the necessary Xen driver modules to interface with Xen, and that a DomU kernel can be reused by different DomUs, so I assume all used kernels simply go to /boot, which lies in the Dom0 filesystem,or will it be copied over to each DomU filesystem? If an OS has been ported over to Xen, like FreeBSD or NetBSD, does that just mean the kernel of that OS has been ported, or does it include something else as well? My idea was, to install Gentoo Linux in Dom0, and use pfsense (which is a firewall distribution based on FreeBSD 6.1) in the first DomU. I could not find any info about pfsense running with Xen, so I thought, most likely it is not about porting a distribution, but just the OS in General or specifically just the kernel, which would mean, as the ported version of FreeBSD 6.1 should run in DomU, the use of the pfsense firewall distribution should be possible as well. Or are there any problems to be expected, if running a *BSD in a DomU with Linux in Dom0? -- Sincerely, Michael A FreeBSD Prospect, who is actually using Gentoo Linux _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
