Hello, I've taken a look into this and I'm afraid there's no easy way to workaround it from FreeBSD. When Xen is detected all IDE devices are disconnected, and there's no fine grained way to only disable IDE disks and not cdrom devices. Could you please contact your XenServer representative, and/or submit this bug to xs-devel (xs-de...@lists.xenserver.org) mailing lists in order to get this fixed on XenServer.

Citrix is aware of this as I've contacted several people there and this has been discussed both here and on the xs-devel list. There has to be something FreeBSD can do to work around this issue since Linux and NetBSD have no issues. As far as I'm aware the issue has been tracked down to badly behaving qemu in XenServer -- they don't use upstream qemu in XenServer (yet), and instead have their own fork. A future release is supposed to merge with upstream qemu. But the fact remains that this is a non-issue on Linux and NetBSD who handle this buggy virtual CDROM without any problems. There has to be some way we can add a quirk on our side so this device doesn't stop the entire boot process. If FreeBSD 10 is released without out-of-the-box support on the premier commercial Xen platform we'll be shooting ourselves in the foot and all of this work will be for naught. Amazon isn't the only Xen platform people use. ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
