Well, I fear you'll have to. I've come in this issue twice with large partition, and did never see it with small ones. I suspect grub is, in fact,not 64bits safe. When you install the xen + netbsd-XENx_DOM0 kernels just after the netbsd install, it's likely to end up physically near the startof the partition. But after some time of filesystem activity, files copyed to / ends up past some limit (maybe 8G ?) and grub can't load them.It's not a matter of kernel size; just moving these files to a smaller partition made grub able to load them.I think it's mandatory to create a small / partition for Xen installs. I'll try to add a note about this in the FAQ.
FAQ, which? Or do you mean the NetBSD/Xen howto?Do you think it make sence to add a note about where the file xen-3.0.3_0-install-x86_32.tgz could be downloaded (e.g. http://www.xensource.com/xen/downloads/dl_303tarballs.html) because this is a different to Xen 2 too.
By the way, i updated the howto's cause at the url http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/xen/downloads.html
is no link anymore to download xen-2.0.x-install.tgz.There is a http download side (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/xen/downloads/) but the new file names
are xen-2.0.x-install-x86_32.tgz It is not commited yet, but i think it will be in the next days. regards, Rainer
