Hi folks,
I tried to find out if there is a Xen4 implementation for NetBSD (at
least a domU kernel), but did not find any real hints.
Can someone please direct me to relevant information or just tell me if
work is in progress, finished, whatever?
Or is it possible to run a NetBSD Xen 3.2/3.3 domU on a Xen4 dom0? Has
anyone out there tried that? Any success or experience to share?
Xen 4 is backward-compatible to Xen 3.x. That means all NetBSD Xen 3
DomU/Dom0 run on Xen 4.

I am afraid it is not that easy. Starting my xen3 NetBSD domU leads to:
total memory = 256 MB
avail memory = 245 MB

I have googled, but found only older entries saying that the dom0 kernel
must be compiled with unset debugging options. I have done so, but that did
not help.
Do NetBSD Xen3 domUs really run on Xen4 (I am using the Debian Testing
hypervisor and dom0)? I found several posts stating that networking is
broken but no current one describing the above problem.
