This package no longer works and is now useless. The only real answer I got for my bootloader problem is here : https://superuser.com/a/506990

The package can be compiled by now, but the result does not do what it should.

Anyway, so far I have not been able to create a bootable pvgrub2 image. Does anyone know how to get an error output?

I use this package to use with xen. But I have an LD error :

/usr/bin/ld: VMA of the section .note.gnu.property [000000000400190,0000000004001bf] overlaps the VMA of the section .bss [00000000019000,00000000044281d7]

Someone have a solution?

The issue with the add-GRUB_COLOR_variables.patch can be resolved with the following patch:

I manually applied the patches after obtaining the sources after attempts to use the PKGBUILD with pikaur ended in receieving errors with the "add-GRUB_COLOR_variables.patch".

altered the the patch file slightly, which seems to have prevented the prior error from occurring.

diff --git a/util/grub.d/00_header.in b/util/grub.d/00_header.in index d2e7252..8259f45 100644 --- a/util/grub.d/00_header.in +++ b/util/grub.d/00_header.in @@ -127,6 +127,14 @@ cat <<EOF

I only changed the -125,6 +125,14 to a -127,6 +127,14

My assumption was that the patched line numbers included, fell within a section of the pre-existing "00_header.in" which seemed to cause some sort of conflict....(I'm not at all certain if I'm correct here, but at the very least it doesn't seem to have broken anything any further).

Continuing along I noticed there were issues with certain pre-set configuration parameters which didn't play nicely with my current setup. Disclaimer: I run Artix Linux, not Arch Linux.

Here's a copy of my makepkg.conf file:

ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGS

CARCH="x86_64" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

CPPFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-march=skylake -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fno-plt -fexceptions \ -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wformat \ -fstack-clash-protection -fcf-protection" CXXFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS,-fno-plt,-O2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now,--no-plt"

What seems to work.
