Hello to everyone. I tried to use xen as a hypervisor instead of kvm + libvirt + virt-manager to boot FreeBSD on my ARM Chromebook where I have installed Devuan 5,since Stefano said : "That might work. libvirt + virt-manager with the xen accelerator might work on the ARM Chromebook. That's becaus

For booting a FreeBSD kernel as a guest OS on XEN,should we install xen 4.18 from source ? On Tue, Nov 28, 2023 at 2:45 PM Roger Pau Monné wrote: > On Mon, Nov 27, 2023 at 03:04:30PM -0800, Elliott Mitchell wrote: > > BTW Roger Pau Monné, now that Xen 4.18 is out, take a look at the > > "royger"

Hello. to try to compile the correct freebsd kernel that's recognized by xen using the Elliott Michell code, are the commands below the correct ones ? $ truncate -s 100G xenvm.img $ mdconfig -f xenvm.img -u 0 $ newfs /dev/md0 $ mount /dev/md0 /mnt $ git clone https://gitlab.com/ehem/freebsd-src.g

Hello. I know two FreeBSD developers that can commit your patches,if they think that they are good. I could drop an email to them. I've hardly helped one of them with the testing when we have implemented the passthrough of a recent nvidia gpu on Linux. The second one is experienced with arm and vi
