It seems to be fixed for me. Using hvm I can now start a 7.3-FreeBSD cd. I hope this helps someone: I went from kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 to kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus. And also updated xen(now version 3.4.3): xen-libs-3.4.3-1.el5,... rpm -qa |grep xen kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.8-1.el5.centos kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.5-1.el5 xen-3.4.3-1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.centos.plus kmod-fuse-xen-2.7.4-21.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 xen-devel-3.4.3-1.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel-xen-devel-2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 xen-libs-3.4.3-1.el5 I used the RPMs provided from here: http://www.gitco.de/repo/ > From: drums_gvm@hotmail.com > To: alex@nirgal.de; mikemacleod@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:58:06 +0200 > CC: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org > Subject: RE: FreeBSD DomU: Upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 > > > Forgot this: what is currently working for me is: > FreeBSD vpn-gateway 7.2-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p4 #0: Fri Oct 2 12:21:39 UTC 2009 root@i386-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 > > > > Do note that I tried multiple install media and it seemed that nothing above 7.2 was actually working. > > > > > > > > From: alex@nirgal.de > > To: mikemacleod@gmail.com > > Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 18:05:24 +0200 > > CC: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org > > Subject: Re: FreeBSD DomU: Upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 > > > > Hi, > > > > Am 20.07.2010 um 17:42 schrieb Michael MacLeod: > > > > > The XENHVM config, if I'm not mistaken, is pretty well only > > > supported when > > > using an amd64 version of FreeBSD.
