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

Xen 4.4 has just been released. http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2014/03/10/xen-4-4-released

We going to have a xen-4.3 aur package? Or not so much? Just curious

Good to hear. FYI, I've actually grabbed a copy of the latest xen RC (4.4.0-rc5) and will be testing building it over the next few days, partly to make sure we're ready when its finally released and to see if theres any more optimizations which can be made. The bios patch (which works around buggy IVRS tables) will be retired as the new version allows you to override the IOAPIC and HPET entries via command line options.

Thanks. Running 3.13.5 right now (still xen 4.3.1) and the bug appears to be gone :-)

http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-02/msg00199.html - its also on the kernel mailing list as well; I tested it on an earlier kernel in the 3.13 branch and the kernel bug went away.

zman0900 commented on 2014-02-24 04:05 (UTC)

That's great, I'll try that new kernel out right away. Do you happen to have a link to that patch? I'm curious but Google isn't being helpful.

kantras commented on 2014-02-24 03:55 (UTC)

Actually it looks like 3.13.5 just left testing and now is in core, so should find firefox more stable once you've upgraded.

kantras commented on 2014-02-24 03:48 (UTC)

The "firefox" issue is actually a kernel issue - changes were made to how NUMA pages are handled, which causes random crashs within dom0 and/or PV domU's (HVM domUs are not affected) I've been tracking the fix and its been included in the 3.14 RC's as well as the latest 3.13.5 (which you can download from the testing repository.) I have a copy of the patch if you want to recompile your own older kernel (Patch is also available on the xen-devel list archives)
