You may have already seen it, but: http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/index.php?s=amd64 I have links in the Digest to Noah Yan's AMD64 work, some of which is already committed. I think Noah had some uncommitted work that was available as a patch. Some searching leads me to this git repo, which may have newer code than what's committed: http://repo.or.cz/w/dragonfly/port-amd64.git I think Noah Yan's strategy was to work from the FreeBSD source, adapting it to the changes in DragonFly as he went along. Here's a post with Matt describing some of the inital steps; I think it still applies: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/users/2007-07/msg00016.html Also: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2007-08/msg00147.html My Digest posts probably don't catch everything; Noah Yan was active during late summer/fall of last year, so looking through 2007/07 and past on kernel@ will see some of his work history. Is it possible to compile a 64-bit vkernel to test this stuff? It would make life easier, but I suspect it can't work realistically without having a 64-bit "host" kernel.
