| Maciej, As of November 2007 RH had made a decision stop forward porting Xen (2.6.18) to 2.6.24 (and higher) kernels and work on so called pv_ops. At mean time F9 has it implemented only for 32-bit DomUs. pv_ops implementation for Dom0 is scheduled for F10 (2.6.25) In my very personal opinion, RHEL 5.1 as well as F8 provides Enterprise Class Xen Virtualization solutions right now. You can go another way and purchase XenServer from Citrix directly. If you want to be safe you have to make a deal with Leading Xen vendors. If your primery concern is FreeBSD HVM DomUs i would look for decision from Citrix directly. I am also aware about one shop running FreeBSD HVM DomUs (32 and 64-bit) at Ubuntu 8.04 Dom0 (64-bit). on AMD boxes . I don't have any idea, what kind of patching has been done for this particular "Super Ubuntu 8 Phenomen". Just remind your own experience with Ubuntu 8.04. I also point your attention to the fact , that Xen 3.2.1 broke backward compatibility with Xen 3.1.2. However , Xen 3.1 doesn't allow FreeBSD to run in HVM Domain. Xen 3.2 allows to disable VMXASSIST and in Xen 3.3 VMXASSIST will be disabled by default. Have a nice time. -b. --- On Wed, 4/30/08, Maciej Jan Broniarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Maciej Jan Broniarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [xen-discuss] Disabling VMXASSIST in Xen 3.2.1 tested OK. > To: "Boris Derzhavets" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 7:22 AM > 2008/4/30 Boris Derzhavets <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > HVM FreeBSD 7.0 (i386) DomU installed at Xen 3.2.1 > CentOS 5.1 Dom0 (64-bit) > > with no problems.
