Hi!

I need someone who can reproduce this crash:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-xen/2008/04/10/msg003555.html
Sorry for the delay.  I'll be able to to test it in the AM.
Unfortunately, that machine is getting rebuilt immediately there-after
with FreeBSD (don't ask)

At 128MB for the Dom0, the pmap problem with mfi(4) is gone, but now
manifests itself in bnx(4), 192MB seems to be a good consensus.

See attached for panic @ 128MB Dom0

Are you using the configuration where you got the crash in mfi(4)
and you use the mfi patch ?

P.S. Maybe I'm greedy, but I would think that the Xen kernel + NetBSD
DOM0 + MFS could use ~128MB or less in a Veso-like deployment,
maximizing physical RAM available to DomUs.  Dom0 existing to manage
iSCSI targets, provide VLAN bridging, environmental data, and RAID
monitoring optionally (just musing)


~BAS


I want to know if this patch fixes it.
