From your blog post I gather that they will not (much longer) be required if one was to build their own kernel? What gave you that idea? The patches in that directory are the differences between the 9.0-RELEASE source tree and the one I used to build the AMI. > On the same subject: The kernel running in that AMI is apparently i386/XENHVM: > > FreeBSD ip-10-30-30-11 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 16 18:25:55 UTC 2012 root@ip-10-17-42-118:/usr/obj/i386.i386/usr/src/sys/XENHVM i386 > > The csup'ed source tree does not contain such configuration. It does for amd64. And there's a XEN configuration for i386. But no XENHVM configuration for i386. Yep, that's why there's a patch in /root/ec2-bits which adds XENHVM. :-) -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
