Hello,
I'm trying to run a NetBSD-CURRENT DomU on a Xen 3.3.2nb1 kernel +
NetBSD 5.1_STABLE dom0, but the domU's boot process stops after
"xennet0: using RX copy mode". When I xm shutdown the VM it responds
and goes down cleanly â but in the meantime it just sits there and
does nothing:
% sudo xm create -c conf
Using config file "./conf".
Started domain netbsd-current

The same happens with the XEN3PAE_DOMU kernel built from the same
source tree (via ./build.sh release, configuration unmodified) and the
5.1 install kernel binary from FTP.
In dmesg, there's a complaint from xbdback about "can't DIOCGPART
device 0xe03: 6":
xbdback backend/vbd/4/1: can't DIOCGPART device 0xe03: 6
xvif4.0: Ethernet address 00:16:3e:7d:59:69
xbd backend 0x1 for domain 4 using event channel 21, protocol x86_32-abi
xbackendd also has something to say:
Jan 16 14:18:03 zz xenbackendd[266]: Failed to read
/local/domain/0/backend/console/4/0/script (No such file or directory)
but from what I've googled this should be harmless(?)
I've found http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-xen/2009/11/09/msg005549.html
which appears to be sort of the same problem ... except that I'm not
using LVM or anything, just a file of 2GiB zeroes.
This is my first time to xen, so I may have just been missing
something very obvious.
Some more info:
