Well, I solved one of my problems (problem #2) - The 64 bit version of
FreeBSD does not work as a guest OS :)

| Hello,

| I'm having a few different problems with this combination and I'm

|
| First of all, here is my Xen config file:
|
| name = "Dorian"
| uuid = "02becdfa-d85c-50e3-343a-ef87767f5018"
| maxmem = 1024
| memory = 1024
| vcpus=2
| builder = "hvm"
| boot = "d"
| kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
| device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
| pae = 0
| acpi = 0
| #apic = 1
| localtime = 1
| on_poweroff = "destroy"
| on_reboot = "destroy"
| on_crash = "destroy"
| device_model = "/usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm"
| #sdl = 0
| vnc = 1
| vncviewer = 1
| #vncunused = 0
| #vncconsole = 1
| vncdisplay=1
| vnclisten="127.0.0.1"
| #nographic=1
| disk = [ "file:/vmimages/Dorianold.img,hda,w",
| "file:/vmimages/7.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso,hdc:cdrom,r" ]
| vif = [ "mac=00:16:3e:7a:a3:48,bridge=xenbr0" ]
| #serial = "pty"
|
|
| 1) First of all, I'm not able to get a console to appear either by doing:
|
| xm create -c Dorian
|
| or
|
| xm console Dorian
|
|
| The only way I'm able to get a console is via VNC. I've played around
| with various config options and have managed to get:
|
| xenconsole: Could not read tty from store: No such file or directory
|
| My qemu log shows:
|
| I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0
| I/O request not ready: 0, ptr: 0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0
|
|
| 2) Looking at the startup of the FreeBSD kernel I see a couple of APIC
| errors. I don't know if these are actually causing any problems, but I
| get kernel panics if I start with apic on in my Xen config file. I'd
| include these errors, but they fly by too quickly. However, FreeBSD does
| proceed past this point...
|
| 3) Whether I startup with a disk image I created in KVM or off the
| FreeBSD CD, I'm not able to see my disks. If I boot off the CD I get:
|
| Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0
|
| and off my disk image it just asks me for a disk to boot off of once the
| kernel has been loaded. I don't understand why it sees the kernel but
| not my other slices.
|
|
|
| To get this far, I installed Xen via an RPM that included the
| "vmxassist=no" necessary to work on my 64 bit Intel CPU.
|
|
| Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
