Re: FreeBSD 7.0 on Xen
2008/8/8 Elwell, Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 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 ... I want to add my following questions because in the handbook are they unfortunately _not_ explained: 1) What is this kernel-current ? And how can I make myself this kernel-current using the base system and the tools in it ? 2) What is mdroot ? And how can I build a mdroot? 3) Where are the Xen sources located? Does The FreeBSD project just write patches which are then used to modify the original sources to get Xen run on FreeBSD OR is there a fork like source repository where the FreeBSD Xen is maintained? I hope that someone can answer me these questions but also I think including the answers to the Handbook would be a great help for all who want to use Xen on FreeBSD. regards Gueven ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FreeBSD 7.0 on Xen
I have a working config for non-HVM systems, its stable enough to play with but not for production, if you have however a HVM machine, FreeBSD runs great under linux KVM On Friday 08 August 2008 22:46:11 Elwell, Richard wrote: Sorry about the premature sending.

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.
