Xen 4.8.0 and NetBSD 7.1?



Yesteday,  I tried to update my system running Xen 3.3.2 (yes,
very old) to 4.8.0.  Unfortunately, it wouldn't fully boot.  If
I was lucky, it would make it to probing the disks.  If I was
unlucky, it only made it to the ACPI probe.

An interesting message that I'd not seen before is:
  (XEN) Platform timer appears to have unexpectedly wrapped 10 or more times.

It appeared during the boot process of the NetBSD kernel.

A similar message has appeared running Xen 4.6.5 (but only
wrapping once, and during the Xen initialization.)

The system is a SUN X2200M2, 2 core AMD Opteron 2210 with
20479MB RAM.

I was able to successfully boot using both Xen 4.5.5 and Xen
4.6.5. (And is currently running under Xen 4.6.5)

FYI: the system hasn't been able to boot a NetBSD GENERIC kernel
since around NetBSD 3 (I think)  Fortunately, running on the Xen
hypervisor provides sufficent abstraction to (normally) keep it
from hanging at the ACPI probe.  But that's a different problem.

I've attached the boot log file, showing 3 failed attempts at
booting Xen 4.8.0, and one each attempt at booting Xen 4.5.5 and
Xen 4.6.5.

Thank you,
	Eric Schnoebelen
