Hi Mukosi, great to hear that the workaround did work for you also. I hope the developers will disable TSO by default in the xn driver (if it is possible ;-)) I'm currently running 8-CURRENT on svn revision 193636 but I started around 5 months ago testing 8-CURRENT as PV domU and I started building the domU using vmware and then transported the disk image via DD onto my xen box. This way is quite complex. IMHO the easiest way (at the moment) is to start off with the xen images adrian is providing for download (http://wiki.freebsd.org/AdrianChadd/XenImages/) as you're then able to build your own system as you like it.
