The kernel and userland are both based on -CURRENT sources from 5 days ago. The Xen dmesg: http://borderworlds.dk/~xi/xen/dmesg.xen The FreeBSD dmesg: http://borderworlds.dk/~xi/xen/dmesg I succesfully fetched a ports tree with portsnap and installed 12 ports from it. The whole virtual machine seems to freeze from time to time but will recover when I send keystrokes to its console. When I tried to do a buildworld it crashed. I don't have a crashdump but I can try to reproduce the problem if neccesary.

Does anyone know whether the Xen paravirtualisation features being added by this project work with/are compatible with the Citrix's XenServer 5? So far as I can tell, XenServer 5 is based on Xen 3.0 so I'm guessing not :(, but it would be interesting to know if anyone's actually tried this or had any experience with it. If I'm right about the Xen version, are there any plans to support earlier Xen versions? - Guy -- Systems Manager, IT Division, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa Email: G.Halse@ru.ac.za Web: http://mombe.org/ IRC: rm-rf@irc.zanet.net *** ANSI Standard Disclaimer *** J.A.P.H From owner-freebsd-xen@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Nov 21 11:47:07 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 889B81065670 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:47:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from sfourman@gmail.com) Received: from yx-out-2324.google.com (yx-out-2324.google.com [74.125.44.29]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 46A308FC08 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:47:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from sfourman@gmail.com) Received: by yx-out-2324.google.com with SMTP id 8so390386yxb.13 for ; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:47:06 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:from:to :subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type :content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; bh=tcIrkD/DQRPpKrcBYNt2pvYRht2FWnvU0dvWW0KfW10=; b=YZr1nuKJ2d/6EwA9i+y7tNrcnEWlsW7rE8IJF+3aIKSdw/YCXLznJRe2RQMH2yezR7 voVrCO4hR1Fbk3K8W1vNFEcXU9zwWOTwULw+CcesMyElsAIzaukciT308ua8rXv0TEWq NLhDTPubSnyFo7+aSFky+jFEmjIJ/a1U5fEpk= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=message-id:date:from:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version :content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition :references; b=SzUBtOqaJDBlLlA63QKFi0UHk4S1REAdcub+QBcRUbuOG+tC2WVVHWIXvI41GBcqH9 6T2AVGeaFBtqgA6juxhEW76iotF0fxp7wf73Zdi7G9ZjFifRm7JLbRHV98HapxqDKFpT RW+9t/VK48ggQl5E/OvQNmjnujxtjhpppNR5I= Received: by 10.64.88.5 with SMTP id l5mr310828qbb.68.1227266172011; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:16:12 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.64.184.9 with HTTP; Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:16:11 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <11167f520811210316v5c5dd5b3lb923c8dfdf1834f@mail.gmail.com> Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:16:11 -0600 From: "Sam Fourman Jr." To: "Guy Antony Halse" In-Reply-To: <20081121052513.GA75575@ru.ac.za> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <20081121052513.GA75575@ru.ac.za> Cc: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org Subject: Re: XenServer support?
