Re: xenbusb_nop_confighook_cb timeout and cd issue
Good morning,
For sure Sean, I have today a more or less busy day but as far as I get again
some (even little :) ) more time… I'll tell here how the progress goes….
Best regards,

Good morning,
After doing some checks and debugs about this problem, I can conclude that :
under Xen 4.1.3 on Debian Wheezy it works properly although in XCP1.6 if you
remove the cd drive from the vm works too. I'm going to describe the two
test environments have used for debugging this :
ENV 1.- XCP 1.6 XEN 4.1.3 + FREEBSD 9.1-RC3 :
As you can see with an iso image mounted and without it, the boot process
gets stuck there….. (I paste here both screenshot location).

http://postfixquotareject.ramattack.net/PastedGraphic-11.tiff
I have placed here two examples, with an empty (but existing) cd drive and
with a iso mounted in the drive.
BUT If I do a in the XCP shell :
xe vm-cd-remove uuid=08aec342-9572-8690-5e58-91d1b1f0aab2
cd-name=xs-tools.iso
The drive is being removed from the vm and it boots normally. This is the
workaround I'm using for the moment.
Another debugging check I have done too is to apply this patch (although
it's just for testing purposes and for checking if cd drive works) to see
how the drive behaves after booting but without stopping in that loop of the
FreeBSD kernel source code.

After applying this patch, kernel boots under XCP 1.6Beta and cd can be
mounted in the shell (should say I have not noticed about IRQ problems after
this). It seems like FreeBSD domU is not able to continue the boot process
because it's not able to finish up some test related to THIS (the cd drive)
device setup (IRQ assigning tests I assume concretely) that should succeed
before being able to continue the boot process.
