I have been trying to get a BSD domU running in FC5. I found this article: NetBSD as Xen domU on SUSE 10.1 HOWTO http://disruptive.org.uk/2006/05/20/netbsd_as_xen_domu_on_suse_10.1_howto.html Was able to follow all the steps.. But.. When I did the xm create step, the system responded with: Error: (22, ''Invalid argument'') The config file was a "copy & paste" with just changing the directory information. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Here it is: disk = [ ''file:/xen/netbsd.dsk,hda,w''] memory = 256 vcpus = 1 builder = ''linux'' kernel = ''/xen/netbsd-XENU'' name = ''netbsd'' vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:ff:f6:80'' ] dhcp = "dhcp" I also tried this without the "builder" and the "vcpus" lines..

> Yes, I downloaded it from the netbsd daily location at the ftp.netbsd.orgYet the error message you get really sounds like you''re trying to load a Xen2 kernel. I mean, _really_. There are no recent builds of the netbsd-3 branch on ftp.netbsd.org, while -current/Xen is currently more or less broken since timecounters merge. You''d better actually compile a kernel. I can help with the details if you need instructions.

It looks like it was a 7/8/2006 kernel.. ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3-0/200607080000Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XENU.gz I''m very comfortable with FreeBSD kernels, I''m very new to NetBSD.. A pointer to instructions would be great.. qgarnier@eve-team.com wrote:>> Yes, I downloaded it from the netbsd daily location at the ftp.netbsd.org > > Yet the error message you get really sounds like you''re trying to load a > Xen2 kernel.

NetBSD-3.0 did not support Xen-3. But you could try out the "daily" kernel for NetBSD-3-"current" (that will be NetBSD-3.1): ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200606090000Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN3_U.gz Works for me with Dom0/NetBSD-current and DomU/NetBSD-3.0. It''s not stable as DomU crashes after a few hours (and today it crashed the whole system) but that might be different with a Linux-based Dom0. Good Luck, Mark _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

A > pointer to instructions would be great..Well, I think the easiest way would be to fetch the netbsd-3 sources using your preferred method (e.g., anoncvs with cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co -P -rnetbsd-3 src) and then compile the XEN3_DOMU kernel with (from the top of the sources tree): ./build.sh tools kernel=XEN3_DOMU Note that you don''t need a NetBSD installation to do that. build.sh will work just fine on FreeBSD, Linux or Solaris.
