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

methril: Thanks - I had actually spotted that patch already and was adjusting my build environment to make sure I was testing this (and a few other things) before releasing another update later today.

Hi all, I have fixed the xen compilation with gcc 4.9.0 patch (from fedora bugtracking) http://pastebin.com/sGWTSU2s and PKGBUILD changes http://pastebin.com/rgNsPFhw (I have enabled ati passthrough)

Thanks for the package.

Hi,thanks for the package. It seems that the "09_xen" grub file does not take into account Btrfs/ZFS FS such as it is done in "10_linux" for example (no "ZFS=" neither "rootflags=" options added in the "module" line).

Just a quick FYI - They've reverted a patch in the recent kernel releases, which may cause instabilities with applications (such as Firefox) running under PV domains (also dom0, which is technically a PV domain). The patch worked for this use case, but broke other things, so the patch was reverted and a new one is being worked on.

kantras, thank you for the fix. Being a migrant from debian to arch+xen I it took me a while to pinpoint the grub issue was not some sort of chair <-> keyboard interface on this side of the screen... :-) I managed to get and Haswell GPU passed through a Linux domU without major issues

@daniel_shub: I had it fixed in my local copy, but was just waiting for something else to include with it - the new 4.4.0-2 that I'm uploading should have a security patch as well as the grub fix (also updating xen-4.3 with the same patch)

daniel_shub commented on 2014-03-27 11:10 (UTC)

Thank you for the great package and keeping it up to date. I had no problem building and installing the package and seems to work great. The only issue I am having is with my GRUB boot menu. Have you gotten a chance to fix the issue with xen-syms? Is it as simple as adding something like mv boot/$pkgname-syms-* etc/xen/scripts/ after # Compress syms file gzip boot/$pkgname-syms-* although I am not sure why the syms kernel should go in the scripts directory, but I don't know where else to put it.

@ironicbadger: Hi, I saw your blog entry before, but for me, it didn't work with Windows 7. After a reboot of the VM, the Host system did not crash, but I was not able to get the GFX adapter back to life! However, when I reboot the Linux VM (Linux Mint 16), the host system crashed every time! So far, I have not found any solution. If you have an idea, I would be glad to hear about it. :-) Only the switch to the XM toolkit helped!

ironicbadger commented on 2014-03-22 08:52 (UTC)

@Olmelcehn All you need do is eject the card from the VM before reboot. I wrote about doing this automatically on Win 8 (I had no joy with 7) here. http://blog.ktz.me/?p=219
