@refutationalist - the -04 rev causes my Win VM to hang on boot (just the circular dot thing frozen on screen). The error in the vm log is:
qemu-system-i386: relocate_memory 4096 pages from GFN 40f000 to GFN f1000 failed: Bad address The version I was using prior to update was 4.14.0-1, I've rolled back.

Please replace the dependency sdl with sdl2 in your next version. SDL v1.2 is outdated and, as far as I can tell, is no longer supported by xen-4.14. Additionally libjpeg-turbo will be needed.

For the record, I almost universally use linux-lts on my servers, and that continues to work.

Also, when you update EFI, remember to copy the EFI kernel to /boot. That's not for you, that's for me, since I just spent an hour forgetting that.

EDIT: I will add a reminder in the next update. Maybe consider a hook, see how the kernels do it.

Updated to 4.14.0-4, added security patches, cmake fixes from cdchapman for stubdom building.

@alaricljs: that info would be better documented in the Wiki's Discussion page (or an update to the wiki if you have a procedure tested). Comments get lost into oblivion.

A partial (dom0 & PV) solution to the zstd compression issue that sticks to current kernels: https://gist.github.com/alaricljs/757d4b452335b187d7dff1b7e2c5808e

A Pacman hook that grabs the uncompressed kernel and puts it in /boot. Works on dom0 and PV guests (that's all that was tested, perhaps others work too).

Thanks to the previous comments I installed linux-lts and then sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg it worked :) A new entry appeared on GRUB menu and now I booted to dom0 successfully.

Thank you for your tip @g8sqh!!!

I've posted this issue on forums some days ago (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=260107), following the guidelines not to post questions etc here), but nobody answered.. ¬_¬

Please also note that Xen (4.14.0) no longer works with the standard Arch kernel (at least as dom-0)

Arch (at 5.9.1) compresses using zstd (CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD=1), and the ELF-reading code in Xen has a decompressor for xz (in xen/common/xz), but nothing for zstd

Message is elf-init: not an ELF binary and a (xen) kernel panic.

Until either Xen gains zstd, or Arch provides a kernel package using xz, you need an older kernel from the archive, or to build from source with CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=1

Gotcha @eduncan911. Link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259428
