Re: [Xen-users] ubuntu64, xen-unstable (hg cloned today) and freebsd 7.0 i386
| (Just realized I sent this to the list with the wrong From: so it got eaten)
To get the FreeBSD installer to boot under xen 3.2, I had to do two things:
1) recompile xen with 'vmxassist=n' 2) disable apic in that domU (or boot the kernel with apic disabled)

I am using the configuration as in the subject and I'm unable to start
a FreeBSD 7 i386 iso image.
I have to use FreeBSD because of its jail construct (yes, I could use
OpenVZ, but this is another story).
Here the details.
Server:
DELL Poweredge 2900 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon
root@dom-mgmt:/etc/xen# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flag | head -1
flags : fpu de tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr mca cmov pat pse36
clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm syscall nx lm constant_tsc
pni monitor ds_cpl vmx tm2 cx16 xtpr lahf_lm
Distribution:
Ubuntu-server amd64 updated (I installed also gawk, bcc, libc-i386-
dev and build-essential).
Software:
Xen 3.2 unstable (cloned from repository this morning)
Installation:
make world
make install
domU template:
root@dom-mgmt:/etc/xen# more dom0.televas.it
kernel = '/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader'
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
builder = 'hvm'
# VM/domain name
name = 'fbsd'
# Memory and CPU settings
vcpus = '2'
memory = '1024'
serial = 'pty'
# Disk settings
disk = [ 'file:/home/dave/disk.img,hda,w','file:/home/dave/
7.0-RELEAS
E-i386-disc1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
boot = 'd'
# Graphics settings
sdl = '0'
vnc = '1'
vncviewer = '1'
nographics = '1'
# Other settings
apic = '1'
acpi = '1'
localtime = '1'
# Start/stop settings
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot = 'destroy'
on_crash = 'destroy'
Xen config file is the default, with vnc listening on all interfaces.
FreeBSD 7 RELEASE halts on "Relocating the loader and the BTX"
I tried everything I can, including:
- Debian Lenny and Xen 3.2.0 from repository;
- Ubuntu 64 and Xen 3.1.0 from repository;
- Fedora 8 amd64 and Xen 3.2.0 from xen website
And I had always the same behaviour.
Any news/ideas?
Thanks for your quick answer, but the problem is related to vt-x, infact a lot of users are able to run FreeBSD as domU using AMD processors, but DELL doesn't sell them :-(
