It should be, although I had issues while using the vesa driver with a FreeBSD Xen Dom0, mainly because Dom0 doesn't have access to the BDA and EBDA, I'm working on fixing this in Xen upstream. > My setup is as follows: > > - Intel i5-4690 that supports IOMMU: > $ sudo acpidump -t|grep DMAR > DMAR: Length=128, Revision=1, Checksum=90, > $ > - vm.max_wired=-1 in /etc/sysctl.conf > - xc0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" xterm on secure in > /etc/ttys > > In loader.conf I have: > > xen_kernel="/boot/xen" > xen_cmdline="dom0_mem=2048M dom0_max_vcpus=4 dom0pvh=1 com1=115200,8n1 > guest_loglvl=all loglvl=all console=com1" So you are trying to use the serial console but you are not getting any output? If that's not the case, please drop the com1 parameter and set console=vga. Do you have anything else in your /boot/loader.conf apart from this two lines? > > With this setup I get my system booted and at some point I can see a > login screen.
