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 :

...between the running processes I see this :
# ps ax | grep qemu
1507 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/xen-qemu-system-i386 -xen-domid 0 -xen-attach -name 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 ?
