Re: can't boot i386 HVM domU - known?

[Brian Buhrow <buhrow%nfbcal.org@localhost>]

	hello Greg.  I have an HVM running NetBSD-5.2 under Xen-4.16 with FreeBSD-13.1 as the
dom0.  It works fine with the exception that the emulated SCSI controller causes a lot of
kernel messages from the siop(4) driver.
I realize this isn't the same as your setup, but at least NetBSD/i386 is working under some
instance of a fairly modern version of xen.

The kernel config looks like:


builder='hvm'


# 
# Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the new domain.
memory = 4096

# Number of Virtual CPUS to use, default is 1
vcpus = 2

# A name for your domain. All domains must have different names.
name = "nb5_dev_nfbcal_org"

vif = [  'type=ioemu,model=e1000-82545em,bridge=bridge0,mac=00:4e:46:42:42:ca' ]

disk = [ 
'file:/var/xen/nfbcal/nb5_dev_nfbcal_org/disk0,sda,rw' ]

# Enable the AHCI IDE controller
hdtype = 'ahci'

#Boot from the hard drive
boot = 'c'

# Turn off graphics
#sdl = 1
#Turn on the serial port as console
serial = 'pty'

#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Boot parameters (e.g. -s, -a, ...)
#extra = ""

#============================================================================

#Reboot after shutdowns
#autorestart = True
#on_poweroff = "restart"
on_poweroff = "destroy"
