Xen on FreeBSD 11: Cannot boot from QCOW2 properly (waiting for XENBUS, xenbusb_nop_confighook_cb)

Yes, it was FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE Dom0 with xen-kernel/xen-tools built from the ports tree (head)



It seems there is an issue with xen pci devices, since booting from QCOW2 images actually works (even on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE branch) except communication with /xen/vbd devices from the guest.


By the way, I installed FreeBSD 12-CURRENT r311461 snapshot and applied the patch for xen-utils and now things got worse,

qemu-system-i386 process started to crash at this point:

Then I did a xen-utils rollback and stuck with the same issue (Waiting for XENBUS), no crash though.

So just that I understand this correctly, this is a FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE Dom0, 

plus the Xen packages from pkg? 



If that's the case, it's not going to work, FreeBSD 11.0 Dom0 doesn't yet 

support qcow image format for HVM/PV guests, you will have to use FreeBSD 12 

(HEAD) as your Dom0, or backport r308128 into STABLE (should be self contained, 

so I don't expect any conflicts). You will also have to apply the following 

patch to the xen-tools package and recompile: 



https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-xen/2016-August/002819.html 



IIRC the right syntax to specify the disk device is: 



'format=qcow2,vdev=xvda,access=rw,backendtype=qdisk,target=/root/cirros-0.3.4-x86_64-disk.img' 



I'm also adding Akshay to the conversation, who did the gntdev implementation. 



Roger.
