How is FreeBSD > Dom0 coming along as well as SMP support ? Hello, With the instructions on Kip's site or the patch included with the xen sources, it's possible to build a functioning XenU kernel. (I have run it under NetBSD/Xen0 and Debian/Linux2.6/Xen0). One limitation is that all patches have developed for 5.3-Release, and have not been recently updated. I have found the FreeBSD/Xen0 very unstable : I had crashes under even moderate load, and I did not see how to add debugging DDB support (but I did not look very far) Too bad : even just a Xen0 support would be fine (but Xen3 should make it possible to run an "untouched" FreeeBSD kernel on a DomU virtual machine) TfH TfH
