I'm trying to use Christopher's work, but I get the following errors
when i try to make depend a xenU kernel:
(...)
Anyone any hints? Is it meant to be run on -current (I see the last
changes in the hg are from 8 months ago, but...)? Or do I need to
compile it under an i386 kernel (I'm currently trying with an amd64 one)?
# uname -a
OpenBSD border2.net1.cc 4.2 GENERIC.MP#1 amd64
Any help MUCH appreciated!
Kind regards,

Guess that counts for cross-compilings, so the answer is yes - i need an
i386 kernel to compile this. Sorry for the fuzz...
Yes. The port is i386 and sadly it never got much traction within the
OpenBSD project, which --this is just my hunch-- may have led
Christoph to unfortunately focus on other stuff instead of keeping
current a port that the project seems to be lukewarm for at best. I'm
not sure what OpenBSD version the currently available revision of the
port targets -- possibly 4.0 or 4.1. If you want to go anywhere with
this it would probably be best to google Christoph Egger's email
address (it's out there). He can give you the real deal straight from
the horse's mouth. If you use Christoph's port, I would be very
interested in hearing about it. -- Maybe others, too. Maybe you could
post to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks and regards,

Yup, I have successfully compiled the XENU kernel, I neither now which
version it is, but it's 8 months old, I believe it was based on -current.
The bad thing is that - when I try to run it with Xen, i get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] xen]# xm create -c /etc/xen/net1-obsd.xm
Using config file "/etc/xen/net1-obsd.xm".
Error: (22, 'Invalid argument')
As far as I went with googling info about this error, it's something PAE
related - my Xen dom0 is PAE enabled I think (I'm not very much into
linux, but i have HIGHMEM_64G defined, also PAE is present in
/proc/cpuinfo).
Seems like the OpenBSD XENU kernel is not (or the vice versa - dom0 is
non-PAE, and the OpenBSD kernel is PAE-enabled). In FreeBSD, there's a
PAE option in the kernel config, but I don't find such one in the
OpenBSD configs (I did not have enough time to investigate this, though,
so I might have overlooked it).
I'm using Xen 3.0.x, and my net1-obsd.xm config is:
=================
name = "net1-obsd"
memory = "256"
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/mirror/fc1,sda1,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:1b:04:c9, bridge=xenbr0' ]
vnc=1
vncunused=1
vcpus=2
kernel = "/boot/openbsd-xenu"
extra =
"boot_verbose,boot_single,vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0,kern.hz=100"
on_reboot = 'restart'
on_crash = 'restart'
==============
Maybe it's best to contact Christoph directly, but I don't know if he
still works on this project (the ng repository seems dead for the last 8
months), and I don't want to annoy him if not needed, so if anyone has
any ideas how to proceed with this, I would be grateful to receive their
opinion & knowledge.
Kind regards,
Doichin
