When I have tried to install FreeBSD 9.1 as guest in XenClient 4.5.5, I have detected these three problems: 1. USB cannot work 2. Kernel, even GENERIC, does not load, when SafeMode = On (default) 3. When kernel starts load, console screen flicks and restore picture only after finishing load system. That was occured only with XenClient 4.5.5, with previous version (was 4.5.1) was OK. This is a kernel log: Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #1: Mon Jul 8 15:14:50 NOVT 2013 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: root@xen-fbsd.askd.gmbh:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: gcc version 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD] Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G850 @ 2.90GHz (2893.50-MHz 686-class CPU) Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x206a7 Family = 0x6 Mode l = 0x2a Stepping = 7 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: Features=0x1789fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,AP IC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,CLFLUSH,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,HTT> Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: Features2=0x80982201<SSE3,SSSE3,CX16,SSE4.1,SSE4.2,POPCNT ,HV> Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: AMD Features=0x28100000<NX,RDTSCP,LM> Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: AMD Features2=0x1<LAHF> Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: TSC: P-state invariant Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: real memory = 469762048 (448 MB) Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: avail memory = 436121600 (415 MB) Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (kbdmux, 0xc0786b91, 0) er ror 6 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pcib0 pcibus 0 on motherboard Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pir0: <PCI Interrupt Routing Table: 6 Entries> on motherboard Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: isab0: <PCI-ISA bridge> at device 1.0 on pci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 WDMA2 controller> port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xc220-0xc22f at device 1.1 on pci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: ata0: <ATA channel> at channel 0 on atapci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: ata1: <ATA channel> at channel 1 on atapci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: uhci0: <Intel 82371SB (PIIX3) USB controller> port 0xc200-0xc21f irq 5 at device 1.2 on pci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: usbus0: controller did not stop Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: usbus0 on uhci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: piix0: PIIX I/O space not mapped Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pci0: <bridge> at device 1.3 (no driver attached) Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> mem 0xf0000000-0xf1ffffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pci0: <unknown> at device 3.0 (no driver attached) Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 4.0 (no driver attached) Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: re0: <RealTek 8139C+ 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc100-0xc1ff mem 0xf3000000-0xf30000ff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: re0: Chip rev. 0x74800000 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: re0: MAC rev. 0x00000000 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: miibus0: <MII bus> on re0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: rlphy0: <RealTek internal media interface> PHY 0 on miibus0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto, auto-flow Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: re0: Ethernet address: 00:24:0b:7a:f2:3c Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: cpu0 on motherboard Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: smist0: <SpeedStep SMI> on cpu0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: device_attach: smist0 attach returned 6 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: pmtimer0 on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: orm0: <ISA Option ROM> at iomem 0xca000-0xca7ff pnpid ORM0000 on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300> Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: kbd0 at atkbd0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: atrtc0: <AT realtime clock> at port 0x70 irq 8 on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: Event timer "RTC" frequency 32768 Hz quality 0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: attimer0: <AT timer> at port 0x40 on isa0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 0 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: Event timer "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz quality 100 Jul 8 18:06:56 xen-fbsd kernel: ppc0: parallel port not found.
