5:41 a.m.
Hello to everyone.
I'm trying to use xen as a hypervisor instead of kvm to boot FreeBSD on my ARM
Chromebook where I have installed Devuan 5. A developer said that it can work. In fact he
said :
"That might work. libvirt + virt-manager with the xen accelerator might work on the
ARM Chromebook. That's because as far as I know Xen integration in libvirt is done via
linking to libxl directly and libxl is supported and working on ARM"
Unfortunately something is not working properly. What I did has been to reboot the machine
in xen,enable libvirtd & and virtlogd & and virt-manager &,but this is what
happened :
root@devuan-bunsen:/Dati/virt-manager-4.1.0# ./virt-manager &

you may also be interested to give a look at this picture :
https://ibb.co/Lh0xkfy
...between the running processes I see this :
# ps ax | grep qemu

dom0 -no graphic -M xenpv -daemonize -monitor none -serial none -parallel none -pidfile
/run/qemu-dom0.pid
The interesting point is that it is using xen-qemu-system-i386. Is it supposed to work on
an ARM architecture ? What's the problem that I may have now ?

This tells you to look into the log file. Did you? What is there?

Is this the contents of that file? If so, then your xen installation is
broken because it did not install the .so.

ok. I tried to fix the broken installation and now the error is changed :

I think I found the solution here :
https://blog.roberthallam.org/2020/05/solving-unable-to-find-partition-co...
I've created a file called menu.lst inside the boot directory of the image
file called "debian.img",adding the following content inside :
default 0
timeout 10
title Debian
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinux-6.1.59-stb-xen-cbe+ root=/dev/xvda
initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.1.59-stb-xen-cbe+
and I tried again to boot the image using virt-manager. It gave this error
again :

so,it seems that it tried to boot,but for an unknown reason,it gave the
