Paravirtualized FreeBSD 8 Guest on Citrix XenServer 5.5/5.6 Host

[Guillaume Seigneuret]

I did try with Xen 4.0.0.
But more stable doesn't meens "suitable for production use" ...
I think the FreeBSD team has to work on its kernel to make it stable under paravirtualized environment.
It's not really a question of Xen kernel version.

Cordialement,

Hi,

which version did you use of 4.0? For me, 4.0.1-rc3-pre runs more stable
than 4.0.0.
Do you have some more information about the FreeBSD pv? Maybe i will try
