Hi,
Sorry for crossposting, but this would be really nice to be fixed in
the final release. I just installed one RC2 onto a XenServer 6.1 cluster
but cannot boot with XENHVM kernel. I started a thread on the
freebsd-xen list, which is here:

Regards,
Andras

The second release candidate of the 9.1-RELEASE release cycle is now
available on the FTP servers for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, and
powerpc64. The MD5/SHA256 checksums are at the bottom of this

The ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory
stick
images are available here:

A third RC build has been decided on, currently scheduled for a week
from now. The release builds themselves will begin about a week
after
RC3. The current target schedule has been updated:

If you notice any problems you can report them through the normal
Gnats
PR system or here on the -stable mailing list.
There was enough "community push-back" from the decision to not
export
the 9.1 release branch activity to CVS that the decision has been
reversed. A firm decision has been made that 10.X release activity
will
not be exported to CVS. It hasn't been decided yet if the upcoming
8.X
and/or 9.X (past 9.1) release activity will be exported. More
information about that will get posted as decisions get made.
If you want to do a source-based update to an existing system using
SVN
the branch to use is releng/9.1. If you would like to use CVS
instead
use RELENG_9_1.
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and
amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running
9.0-RELEASE,
9.1-BETA1, or 9.1-RC1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-RC2
During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by
merging
some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically
performed
merging was done correctly.
# freebsd-update install
The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before
continuing.
# shutdown -r now
After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the
new
userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again:
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 7.X, 8.X) can also use
freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 9.1-RC2, but will be prompted to
rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from
the
ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install",
in
order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD
7.X
or FreeBSD 8.X and FreeBSD 9.X.
