OpenBSD 5.1 XEN HVM DomU - kernel panic

2012-06-06 Thread Andre Keller
Hi is any body running OpenBSD as a XEN HVM guest? I have a difficult time accomplish that... The XEN guest does boot up and is usable. When f.e. do a cvs checkout of ports the machine panics about every other time. I know that is not really a supported configuration but if someone managed

I think about installing an OpenBSD-guest on a XEN-Host (Debian Squeeze), all OS as 64bit-version alias amd64. Are there any experiences with OpenBSD as Dom-U? The guest will be a firewalling-router with ospfd, bind, openvpn and 6 ethernet-interfaces. Any comments are welcome! Regards, Tobias.
