Hello All, I am trying to install FreeBSD 7.0 (8.0-current) as a guest OS with RHEL 5.1/5.2. I compiled xen 3.2 with vmxassist=n as suggested in bug 622. After I installed and booted this xen kernel I have difficulty in starting the VMManager to create guest OS. Could anyone please provide details on which Linux OS & the tools I may use to install FreeBSD as guest. I also tried with the instructions @ http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/virtualization -guest.html with kernel7.0-Release and kernel8.0-current. With both of them I get a crash on doing xm create xmexample1.bsd -c. The trace is below : (XEN) Unhandled page fault in domain 1 on VCPU 0 (ec=0002) (XEN) Pagetable walk from 00000472: (XEN) L2[0x000] = 00000000 ffffffff (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (ff157619) (XEN) Domain 1 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#1: (XEN) ----[ Xen-3.0.4-1 x86_32 debug=n Not tainted ]---- (XEN) CPU: 1 (XEN) EIP: e019:[<c0458a30>] (XEN) EFLAGS: 00000202 CONTEXT: guest b cr4: 000026d0 cr3: 0d873000 cr2: 00000472 (XEN) ds: e021 es: e021 fs: e021 gs: e021 ss: e021 cs: e019 (XEN) Guest stack trace from esp=c0c4fff0: (XEN) 00000002 c0458a30 0001e019 00010002 (XEN) Unhandled page fault in domain 2 on VCPU 0 (ec=0002) (XEN) Pagetable walk from 00000472: (XEN) L2[0x000] = 00000000 ffffffff (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (ff157619) (XEN) Domain 2 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#1: (XEN) ----[ Xen-3.0.4-1 x86_32 debug=n Not tainted ]---- (XEN) CPU: 1 (XEN) EIP: e019:[<c0458a30>] (XEN) EFLAGS: 00000202 CONTEXT: guest (XEN) eax: 00000000 ebx: 00000000 ecx: 00000000 edx: 00000000 (XEN) esi: c0c47000 edi: 00000000 ebp: 00000000 esp: c0c4fff0 (XEN) cr0: 8005003b cr4: 000026d0002 c0458a30 0001e019 00010002 Unhandled page fault in domain 2llllllINIT: Switching to runlevel: 0 Thanks in advance.

Keir Fraser have said in Xen-devel mailing list that the problem should not exist in the current xen-unstable (since yesterday). I have just built xen-unstable and really there is no problem with usage of /boot/loader in an HVM domain even on a Intel-based host. So bug 622 does not exist anymore (at least for me). Thank all and thank Keir again. On Do, Feb 07, 2008 at 11:32:28 +0100, Oskar Lindgren wrote: > Hi, > > Yes, it is possible. That is how I do it.
