okasion LQ Newbie Registered: May 2003 Posts: 17 Rep:	Cant install FreeBSD as guest on Xen The server is an Intel Core Quad Duo with 4gb of Kingston memory, two SATA2 WD 500gb hard disks, and the motherboard is a MSI G33. The version of RHEL which we are running is 5.2, always updated, only works as a virtualization server. We havent been able to make the FreeBSD boot loader, BTX, boot on Xen, it seems like it gets stucked in boot dumps when trying to load BTX. We had absolutely no problem with Windows 2003, OpenBSD, Debian, NetBSD, etc. Why FreeBSD behaves like this? we tried FreeBSD 7 i386, FreeBSD 6.2 i386 and FreeBSD 6.3 x86_64, always getting the same problem. Any idea whats going on? Thanks in advance.
