I run a lot of DOMUs, but this is the first time I noticed these particular problems. These probably effect -current too.
1) The stock XEN3_DOMU will fail to load the solaris module with this error: nbsd10test# modload solaris [ 927.7196996] kobj_checksyms, 1004: [solaris]: linker error: symbol `sdt_provider_sdt' not found [ 927.7196996] WARNING: module error: unable to affix module `solaris', error 8 modload: solaris: Exec format error This will result in the inability to load the zfs module which could be a suprise if you have zfs filesystems. If you compile a kernel with: options KDTRACE_HOOKS all will be well again, but I don't know what the right answer here should be so I hesitate to commit the simple change of adding that option. 2) It does not appear that a NetBSD x86_64 pure PVH guest using the GENERIC kernel can see more than 4GB of memory. I believe that this worked in the past, but I currently do not have very old 9.99.xx guests right now to try it on. That is, if you set memory=<more than 4GB> and/or maxmem=<more than 4GB> the guest will see exactly 4GB. If you make the guest a pvshim PVH guest and use XEN3_DOMU you get all of the memory asked for. This does not work at least from 9.99.104. -- Brad Spencer - [email protected] - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
