So good news is: i don't need to install a XEN-Kernel. Bad news: GENERIC won't boot out of the box. > I have used 8.0 with the GENERIC kernel in > several domUs (running on Xen 3.4.2 and 4.0) successfully.

After a litte digging i also found the configuration for a XENHVM- Kernel: /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/XENHVM Is this one maybe worth a try? Regards, Alex
