RE: FreeBSD 7.0 on Xen

2008-08-08 Thread Elwell, Richard

Sorry about the premature sending.  Here is the complete question:

 Greetings,
 
 I am attempting to follow the directions located at
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/virtualization-guest.html
 and load a FreeBSD Xen DomU instance.  The document says:
 
Download the FreeBSD domU kernel for Xen 3.0 and disk image from
http://www.fsmware.com/

*   kernel-current
http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/kernel-current 

*   mdroot-7.0.bz2
http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/mdroot-7.0.bz2 

*   xmexample1.bsd
http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/config/xmexample1.bsd 

The link for kernel-current does not work.  Do you know where I can find
the kernel?  I tried to compile a kernel with PAE support, modify it
using the objcopy instructions given in the handbook, and use it, but I
get the error xc-dom-compat-check: guest type xen-3.0-x86_32 not
supported by xen kernel.

It looks like I need a guest type xen-3.0-x86_32p.  I thought compiling
a kernel with PAE enabled would give me that, but I get the same error.

Any ideas?

What host OS are you using for dom0? I'm considering setting this up 
on my second box, so I can run 7.0-STABLE and 8.0-CURRENT 
simultaneously (and use the full capabilities/speed of the processor), 
but I've heard of limited success, depending on the host/dom0 OS. 

Thanks,

Greetings,

 

I get the following error when I run portsnap fetch:

 

Fetching 14248 new ports or files... /usr/sbin/portsnap: cannot open

such file or directory

snapshot is corrupt.

 

A quick search led to a similar problem in the past:

 Can anybody tell me what's going on here, or how to fix it?

 

Some files didn't get uploaded from the machine which performs the

portsnap builds to the mirrors due to a network outage (note to

self: I need to handle problems like this better!)

 

I've manually copied the missing files into the appropriate places

and everything should be working again now.

Is this a similar problem, or do I likely have another issue?
