That has been working brilliantly on amd64, but when I tried to reproduce it on i386 (trying to boot a linux-2.6.26-xen-686 from Debian on a NetBSD-5 Dom0), I got the following error message: "Error: (2, 'Invalid kernel', 'xc_dom_compat_check: guest type xen-3.0-x86_32p not supported by xen kernel, sorry')" Does "-x86_32p" mean that the DomU kernel is for PAE platform (which mine isn't) ?
yes
Is it possible to find an appropriate Linux DomU kernel for the combo i386 non-PAE + xen-3.1.4 ? Maybe do I need to go back to Xen-2.0 ?
You will stay with the exact same problem, finding a Linux kernel with the support you need. The Xen 2 API is /slightly/ deprecated.
Proposals: 1 - Move your dom0 and domUs to PAE. http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/201003160000Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOM0.gz http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-5/201003160000Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-XEN3PAE_DOMU.gz 2 - Try the XenSource packages: http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.1.0/bin.tgz/xen-3.1.0-install-x86_32.tgz -- Jean-Yves Migeon jeanyves.migeon%free.fr@localhost
