Re: [Xen-devel] Re: Where to get FreeBSD port for Xen

Kip:

It only has the kernel, a compressed mdroot, and the config scripts
that I use. The blocking issue discussed previously has not been fixed.
I intend to fix it, but there are some infrastructure bits that take
priority for me.

Let me know how this works for you as soon as you try it out.

Bad news, I'm afraid; the 5.3 kernel and mdroot doesn't successfully boot for me. I'm using the same args that happily boot the 5.2.1 kernel, but it simply stops once it reaches a certain point. The boot messages are as follows:

At that point, it just doesn't go any further; 'xm list' shows it as in run state, not crashed, but it just never goes any further. Any thoughts?
