| I believe Smoothwall is a custom built Linux distro, not based off of any others. 
 And, as far as I know, it can't be run para-virtualized.  I would be very interested if someone found a way to make it so.

Is anyone here running Smoothwall Appliance as a VM in Xen? We'rerunning it right now, but it's running fully virtualized instead of
 para-virtualized. Anyone know if it can run as a PV?
 
 It crashed yesterday with only a 100 user sessions on it. Not much in
 the log except:
 [2010-12-06 15:03:31 7341] WARNING (image:559) domain prxy3: device model failure: pid 22922: malfunctioning (closed sentinel), killed; see /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-prxy3.log

 Our management package restarted the VM but found this

 I'm not sure what flavor of linux it's running as I did not build the
 VM. It's running 32bit kernel 2.6.16.60-6-smp.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 James
