Xen Users,

 

I have always used XEN from the debian/ubuntu repositories, as I have had very good experiences with the repository version.  However, I now find myself needing to build XEN from source, so that I can boot BSD based guests (needs to be compiled with vmxassist=n).

 

I have now spent well over 12 hours trying to get a build-from source installation of XEN 3.3 on Ubuntu.  I have finally gotten myself to a somewhat working place - Dom0 now boots (although I get some error messages about apparmor support, etc), but when I go to create a DomU, it instantly flips the DomU back off.  I get a message from QEMU in the qemu-domain log.... "I/O request not ready: 0, pty:0, port: 0, data: 0, count: 0, size: 0".  Ugh.

 

Most likely, I need to start over (again), but I feel like I'm crawling through this process.  Are there any good guides out there on building 3.3 from source on a clean system, or a repository with VMXASSIST=n already built in, or a workaround to rebuilding the whole thing?

 

I'll definitely owe someone a beer.

 

Thank You,
