[Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Anyone done this before? Netbsd on Debian

Setup with Netbsd domU on Debian Sarge Dom0 fails with

At this point I am seeking help from someone whom have done this before as I have been 
through the posts and I see a few "theories" on
how to do this. Dirk in the post below claimed to have successfully done 
this... is there any one else and can you please post
instructions for the benefit of the community so that in one years time someone 
else does not ask for this.


Yes, well, the pae/non-pae status of your domU/dom0 must match.

From what I understand, NetBSD doesn't support PAE. (Is this true?
seems odd to me.) I do run NetBSD DomUs on a Debian Dom0, and it does work great (in fact, I am typing this message on a NetBSD DomU running on a Debian Dom0) But I have compiled my Debian Dom0 kernel *Without* PAE support.

(I think this is the default when you compile xen from source.) I use the 3.0.4 http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.0.4-testing.hg


If someone else knows how to make PAE work on NetBSD, please post.
