I'm having similar problems with xen on 11.1, AMD64, June 2017. The OS runs fine, but installed xen from package, setup exactly as per the handbook and get a kernel panic on two machines, complaining about iommu not being enabled. Machines are: a Sun X4170 to start, then a Proliant DL380 G7 with E5630 cpu. Both have all the virtualisation options enabled in the bios, but there are no options on either machine for iommu. Have other machines running FreeBSD, an Atom pc running as a nas box, a couple of other Intel based systems and a Sparc machine running 10.2, with a shedload of packages built to try and get an X desktop running. Got as far as xvnc remote desktop working, but still trying to get Firefox built. Normally, everything works out of the box with FreeBSD , so has this really been tested, or is xen just not mainstream ?. Trying to find info on xen / FreeBSD brings up a load of sometimes conflicting info. The xen site is no help either, with possibly out of date / not in sync with handbook info. FreeBSD is the escape plan from Solaris and zones, but need zfs, jails and xen to make it all work. Any ideas ?... Regards, Chris
