Well, heck. Now I feel like a dummy. Thanks everyone, it seems I now have a
build of XEN that can run BSD based guests. Who knows how long I've actually
had this, now.
All involved - if you're ever in Seattle, I will make good on that beer offer.

Thank you,

Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Building from Source
Are you using this config file for your domu?
name = "lb1"
builder = "hvm"
memory = "512"
device_model = "/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
#disk = ['phy:/dev/loop0,hda,w']
boot="c"
acpi="0"
serial = "pty"
vncpasswd = "test"
I found this in one of your previous emails to the list. I used this
to see if I could replicate your problem. Using the config file for
domu that you supplied I get the exact same results on a working
xen3.3 box.
You are trying to use the loop device for a disk for a hvm machine.
You are using 'boot="c"' when there is nothing on the "disk". You need
a line like this:
disk=['phy:/dev/rootvg/nathan,hda,w','file:/home/jonr/nevaeh-i386.iso,hdc:cdrom,r']
I am using your config file and booting just fine. Your problem is
your "disk=" line in your config file. I am using LVM's in this
example but you could also use file based "disks".
When I use the config file you supplied on the list I get the exact
same errors in /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-lb1.log.
You do not want to use /dev/loop0 as a disk.
