We've moved to the newly-stable 4.20.0 branch. There are also other changes:

  • stubdom is fixed by disabling the vtmp and vtpmmgr components. This gets rid of a few source files and our remaining patches.
  • Debug files are only removed if the debug option is not set in makepkg.cfg (or the PKGBUILD itself)
  • pygrub has been removed
  • optdepends are adjusted for the upcoming xen-grub split package for the various Xen flavored builds.

If you're still using pygrub note that it is deprecated. The solution is to build PV grub instead, which used to be in AUR but is now missing. I am asking a couple questions on the mailing list, and I intend to put my current build of xen-grub (which supersedes xen-pvhgrub) on AUR as soon as possible. If you need to build it before that occurs, you can find it in my PKGBUILD repo.

EDIT: 4.20.0-2 adds support for the xen-edk2 package, which has a fixed UEFI for xen

@lazycat Yes, possible to use Xen guest with little RAM. May need to boot your arch installer differently though. If you show your config, we will have a better idea. Working config for me, needs arch install iso. name='archtest' disk=['archlinux-2017.01.01-dual.iso, , xvdc, cdrom'] memory='256' root = '/dev/xvdc' bootloader='pygrub' kernel = "arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz" ramdisk = "arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img" extra = "archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=ARCH_201701" boot='d'

@JohnTh, It is possible use xen with config less then 1500M ram?

Good to see maintainer! When trying to boot PV archiso / archboot guest: I get "Initramfs unpacking failed: write error" when there is not enough memory to unpack the ramdisk to memory. I found the archboot64 I tried needed 1500MB memory.

@das_j Thank you, it's really cool :) Successfully compile and install it, but still have problem with paravirt PV domU.. Trying to create guest with xl create -c and receive [ 0.120463] dmi: Firmware registration failed. [ 5.189734] Initramfs unpacking failed: write error Any ideas? My pc is junk? xD Or I doing something wrong?

@riaqn @lazycat I fixed the package and bumped the pkgrel. I can boot it, hopefully you can as well.

@riaqn Hello! Have same problem - cannot create correct cfg for grub (add new boot entry to grub) with 09_xen Any ideas?

<deleted-account> commented on 2017-01-15 12:33 (UTC)

@riaqn No, this should not matter. I will check once I get home, but maybe not until tomorrow.

It's probably just me: but in the compiled package, there is only a symlink from boot/xen-4.8.gz to xen-4.8.0.gz, but no xen-4.8.0.gz itself, which is necessary if I want to boot via grub? Do I have to compile on a grub-booted system(as opposed to efi-booted) to get this file in the package?

Adopted package as nobody else seemed to be interested. @John if you still are interested, contact me :) Updated to 4.8, hope I didn't break anything. Removed a lot of patches that are not needed anymore and updated XSAs. I also removed the ati-passthrough patch as it was for Xen 4.4 and didn't apply anymore.
