Subject: Xen domU for OpenBSD/amd64 demo
Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2006 16:13:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <448EC802.7020804@adviseo.fr> (raw)
Hi,
you can now download a beta version of the OpenBSD/amd64 port for Xen at
http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD
General notes:
- It's a beta, don't expect it to be fully stable. It stills crashes for
time to time. Feel free to report backtraces and conditions. (I'm
thinking of hosting a debug kernel image)
- The network driver is included, but still buggy. Most notable bug is
that network demons don't work, no sshd or ftpd for now :(
- Arithmetic coprocessor support is still missing, so some programs may
crash/hang
- It's an UP kernel. SMP is currently unsupported..
Kernel image (domU): http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD/bsd
3.9 default install image: http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD/disk (root
password: "adviseo")
Xen-unstable hypervisor image with required patches for OpenBSD:
http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD/xen.gz
If you want to make your own image, you'll need to add the following:
- Xen block device node (/dev/xbd*): block dev, major 20
- Xen block device node (/dev/rxbd*): char dev, major 85
- Xen virtual console device (/dev/xencons0): char dev, major 84, minor 0
- Set the root fs entry in /etc/fstab according to your image (most
likely /dev/xbd0a)
- Add '/dev/xencons0 0600 /dev/console' to /etc/ftab
- Add 'xencons0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" vt220 on secure' to /etc/ttys
Sources are available too:
Patches for OpenBSD 3.9 release kernel sources:
http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD/amd64-xen.patch.gz (use the XENU
config file in arch/amd64/conf)
Full OpenBSD 3.9 release kernel sources with Xen pacthes:
http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD/sys-amd64-xen.tar.gz
Patches for Xen-unstable sources:
http://cancel.adviseo.net/Open-BSD/xen-patches.tar.gz (make sure it's
compiled with -DNDEBUG, else BSD won't work)
Have fun!
Mathieu
