Please Note: Per best-practices by upstream this package follows the git stable branch. Minor releases do not require a version bump and the PKGBUILD will provide the appropriate version number.

stubdom is still broken.

@skyzh: How were you building when you triggered that message? I just built Xen on a brand new install and didn't manage to see that in the captured build output.

@ska67: For booting, I think the best way forward would be to update the wiki page with specific bootloader instructions, and then point to the wiki on install. We recently pulled out GRUB specific code, the direct EFI boot needs some changes that would make it longer than I think is useful in an install message, and there a lot of different boot methods being discussed in the comments here.

As far as QEMU goes, is there anything specific that needs to be added for Xen functionality? If we're just adding stuff to QEMU to use QEMU separate from Xen, I would not build QEMU inside this package, but modify the stock Arch qemu package to include Xen support.

Refutationalist commented on 2020-09-14 04:52 (UTC)

Just a note that I see the recent comments, but I'm not in a position to work on them at the moment. I'll get to them ASAP.

Thanks for this AUR package! I tried to install this on latest archlinux, and the compiler reports

multiple definition of 'tpm version'

in several files.

I found that this can be solved with this patch from GitHub https://github.com/patchew-project/xen/commit/ac9d413015d3bcf1e8f31cda764590b3ee949bc1.patch

Hope this could help other users when using this AUR package.

Your PKGBUILD uses "build_qemu" as build option to enable or disable the integrated Xen version of upstream Qemu. The Xen configuration allows additional configuration options for building this upstream Qemu with --with-extra-qemuu-configure-args[="--ARG1 ..."]. Please allow such additional configuration options for "build_qemu", besides the options true and false.

I am using systemd-boot, after build and install I have to copy /usr/lib/efi/xen.efi and /etc/xen/efi-xen.cfg as xen.cfg to my esp (boot) partition. The names of xen.efi and xen.cfg must be equal. It would be great if a hint would be displayed during the installation on uefi systems using systemd-boot or efistub booting.

@jac299792458 Use "console=vga vga=text-80x25,keep" on the hypervisor command line and "console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen" on the kernel command line if you do not have a serial console for hypervisor output.

I was able to get this to build and install successfully. However, I'm having the damnedest time getting it to boot on my Dell Precision 5550 laptop. I've tried using grub-xen-git (which boot regular Arch, same kernel, just fine), and I've tried directly booting Xen from UEFI.

In both cases, I see the Xen messages scroll by, the last one mentions relinquishing the VGA port, it blanks the screen and ... nothing. It just sits there.

I've removed and / or tweak the intel-ucode scanning with no change in behavior. Is there anything else I should try next to get some more actionable info? I've also added 'earlyprintk=xen' to the kernel cmdline for both via Grub->Xen and UEFI -> Xen ...

I've been having trouble getting this to compile. Is it possible that there's a missing dependency? Here's where the make errors out.

@Refutationalist If you have it running, go ahead and do a package release for 4.14.0. Sorry I wasn't able to submit the GRUB bits before heading to the mountains for a family reunion this week. If you're game, we can do another package release with the updated GRUB once I get back to civilization.

Refutationalist commented on 2020-08-04 05:32 (UTC)

I've got a 4.14.0-0 on my github that seems to be running well on my test machines, so if those grub changes are good to go, I can push to AUR.

cman commented on 2020-07-29 22:40 (UTC)

@Reutationalist That's great and Github will work just fine. I'm in process with some other projects, but I will try to get those Grub changes to you by the end of the week.

Refutationalist commented on 2020-07-29 22:11 (UTC)

@cman -- Yeah, the changes turned out to be pretty trivial and I've already got it compiling, will start testing shortly. I could use those GRUB changes as I'm GRUB-avoidant. If github is good, I've been using my PKGBUILD repo as a staging area, so you can get me the changes there, otherwise we'll figure it out.
