Thanks for the testing! > Hello again :-) Today I gave it another try with FreeBSD 12.0-ALPHA3 r338287 and the current packages for xen-tools411 and xen-kernel411. Sadly, I didn't get very far, even with the above bug being fixed. When attempting to start a HVM config, the console (xl console <domain>) stays empty and unresponsive. Connecting via vnc, the screen only shows this message: "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)". When repeatedly running 'xl list', I can see that the domU almost consumes 1 second of CPU per second walltime. Trying out PVH, the console also doesn't show any sign of life, and VNC says: "This VM has no graphic display device." Running 'xl list' shows, that the domU consumed about 1.4s of CPU, and then switched to 'blocked' state. I can't see any errors in the log file either. Do you or anyone else have a working .cfg file that you could share, or any ideas what might be going wrong? - Kai
