Re: [Xen-users] FreeBSD under Xen


I believe there were also xen changes between 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 that will cause a FreeBSD XenU setup for 3.0.2 to not run under 3.0.3.. I don't believe it has been fixed in perforce yet, but I am not sure as I haven't really spent much time on it in the last couple months.

The same problem has been fixed in NetBSD.

(just something to check; your first task is to make everything (xen0, xenU and hypervisor) match the same PAE status; until that happens, nothing else will work.)

Hello,

I'm trying to get FreeBSD to run under Xen. I've compiled Xen 3.0.3
from sources. I first compiled it with a simple 'make world' and got
linux to work both as dom0 and as well as a domU. Now, I'm trying to
get FreeBSD. I followed the tutorial at:
http://www.yuanjue.net/xen/howto.html but get the follwing error when
booting FreeBSD:

Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')

From what I understand this is due to the FreeBSD kernel being
compiled with PAE while my Xen isn't. So I re-compiled Xen with
XEN_TARGET_X86_PAE=y but now my linux dom0 won't boot anymore...

So, what I'm looking for is either:
1) a way to build my dom0 kernel with PAE enabled; or
2) a way to run FreeBSD using a non-PAE Xen

Thanks!

Albert
