Anyone > actually running FreeBSD as a domU with hardware virtualization? I've attempted to boot AMD64 and i386 FreeBSD on an AMD64 Xen 3.0.6 machine. The AMD64 FreeBSD failed in the BTX code with an error similar to [1]. The i386 version of FreeBSD will boot when you remove SMP, PREEMPTION and INVARIANTS from the kernel [2]. There are other problems with it when you do get it to boot.
