Both i386 and amd64 run perfectly. On each VM, I then build a kernel using a stock unmodified "XEN" config file. One refuses to boot (I think it's the amd64 one), and that issue seems to be in the current open PR's. The other one starts too boot and then reboots and reboots in an endless loop. That I can't seem to find in the open PR list. We're starting a new network buildout and I'd love to get 9.0 (either i386 or amd64) running PVM. Any tips/tricks/ways to make it work? On a separate note, a while back there were some posts about someone working on a port for xen-tools. Anyone know status on that?
