freebsd kernel

[Kip Macy]

You probably don't have the mental bandwidth to run it right now, but
just in case I've put it at:
http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/5.3/050414/kernel

I've just pulled a fresh tree and am doing a make world just in case
there is something wrong with my tree from March 22nd.

I run the freebsd kernel from the 2.0.5 demo iso. It boots but trying to
"make" anything results in segfaults or amoking kernel (so i cannot
build a new kernel - it's a chicken-egg problem). As some of my domUs
are productive i run 2.0-testing, so i cannot use your -unstable
kernels. A friend of mine (freebsd-addicted) will build me a recent
xen-2.0 kernel when he has time. 

Or do you accidentaly have a recent kernel for xen-2 hanging around ...?

/nils.

I do. 

http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/5.3/xen-2.0-testing/050415/kernel

This isn't from the mainline tree (it has some local modifications).
Nonetheless, it should work just fine. I ran it last night against
yesterday's -testing. I've done kernel builds and basic tasks on it.
 
Get in touch with me directly if there are further issues.

GREAT! With that one i could build my own (first!) freebsd kernel
(following "fbsdxensetup" and "xenfbsd_kernel_build" from xen-2.0-
testing), and that works, too. Thank you!

freebsd is a strange & interesting new world (setting up new "slices"
and "disklables" is ... eh .. wierd ;) Just another reason to love xen:
getting in touch with new OSes.

You'll wish you had not said that ;) 

btw: to create a new fbsd system image, is it possible to do something
like "make INSTALLDIR=/mnt/newsystem installworld"?
