What block/disk-backend do you want to use?

i have no problems with blktap2 (meaning vhd image) and lvm. Google
says, your error has todo with your "hard drive".

Which version of pfsense do you want to try?

You will need hvm virtualization for pfsense.

Hi There,

Did you have to compile Xen with any special options to get pfSense
working on an Intel processor?

Or maybe you're using AMD chips?

it works on both. standard ebuild, nothing special. currently on xen-3.4.2-r1 (amd chipset) and xen-4.0.0 (intel chipset).

although, your xen-tools need to have hvm support to work with that.

Still waiting for your config-sniplets, Jonathan.

Sincerly
Nicolas

Sorry for not getting them to you yet Nicolas. I've been recompiling my linux kernels over and over again however this time I'm very close. Infact, BSD boots up now. Will let you know how I progress.

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

I'm currently in the process of installing pfSense on my Xen 4.0 box via virt-manager. If I use the IDE bus for the HDD, install is very slow. I orignally tried it with the SCSI bus, and it was fast, however the system woudn't boot from the drive.

I'm not sure if I can send you any config files, as I'm not sure where virt-mamanger saves them...

Thanks

J
