In response to some of the open questions on your website.
apmd is what you want for power managment, never tried it
under xen though.
I do not believe you need the extra = "boot.netif.ip=192.168.0.221"
line in your config, although the layout of the args line in the
actual config does seem importent, try "xm create -n -f <your config>"
and see what you get. The following works for me using a raw disk
partition under FC3. However if the args line spans multiple lines,
or as I recall the comma is missing, the root disk config seems to get
lost.
(vm
(name FreeBSD-3)
(memory 150)
(cpu -1)
(restart always)
(image (linux (kernel /boot/kernel-xbd)
(args ',vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/xbd0a')
))
(device (vbd (uname phy:ida/c1d0p2) (dev ida/c1d0p2) (mode w)))
(device (vif (mac aa:00:00:42:8a:b5)))
)
I wouldn't descibe this as stable but it does work well enough to
compile new kernels in the guest, building complex ports reliably
crashes or hangs the system.
I have found kernels compiled using the sparse directory and scripts
in the 2.0.7 source distribution *ARE* more stable than those built
from the source on Kip Macey website. (You need bash and wget
installed to use those scripts)
DHCP does seem to work.
I have found NFS root guest domains to be more unstable.
