RE: Reboot on *DOM0* while/after installing GPLPV drivers

[John Hayward <john.hayward%wheaton.edu@localhost>]

Ok - I tried to upgrade by 5.1.2 box from xen3.3 to xen 4.2.3
Now I cannot get xend to start.
I deleted package xentools33 and installed xentools42-4.2.3.tgz
I downloaded xenkernel4.2-4.2.3.tgz - renamed /xen to /xen-3.3 and unzipped the 
4.2.3 kernel and copied it to /xen
I renamed /etc/rc.d/xend to /etc/rc.d/xend-3.3 and copied the rc xend script to 
/etc/rc.d
Then rebooted.

Xend fails to start with xend.log containing:
===
[2013-10-15 12:04:15 714] INFO (SrvDaemon:332) Xend Daemon started
[2013-10-15 12:04:15 714] ERROR (SrvDaemon:349) Exception starting xend ((78, 
'Function not implemented'))
Traceback (most recent call last):

Error: (78, 'Function not implemented')
[2013-10-15 12:04:16 521] INFO (SrvDaemon:220) Xend exited with status 1.

In trying to go back to 3.3 I discovered xentools33 is not built.  I would like 
to go forward.

For dom0 I have:
====
johnh@johnhxen:xen{505}: uname -v
NetBSD 5.1.2 (XEN3_DOM0_WD0) #0: Mon Jul  9 08:24:01 CDT 2012  
johnh@johnhxen:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/XEN3_DOM0_WD0
====
Do I need a xen3_dom0 to work with xentools 4.2?

Any suggestions?

Hello.
I have a XEN box with NetBSD 6.1 amd64 and XEN 4.2.
I have a DomU with Windows Server 2003 32 bit, so it crashes too when I
try to install the pv drivers, specially in the part of disk drivers.
