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

Comment by zman0900 2013-08-25 23:29 4.3.0-4 with the ATI Passthrough patch works for me for my Windows 8 + ATI HD7850 HVM setup. I had to add 'device_model_version="qemu-xen-traditional"' to my config, but no other changes were necessary. This worked for me too in so far as getting the VGA passthrough working, with the ATI patch applied to 4.3.0-4, with a 7970. It works great until I reboot the domU at which point the GPU is not reinitialized and only VNC access is available. If I reboot the dom0 then all is well. Is there a script I can run that will trick the GPU into resetting once the domU has shutdown?

@zootboy, @zman0900: Thanks for the feedback. I've updated my local staged copy with fixes for 09_xen and will be testing the other reported issue as well. If no-one has any other issues/etc, should be uploading a new copy over the weekend (also need to go through the xen-user and xen-devel lists to get back up to speed on any other fixes, etc)

I put in a feature request with binutils-multilib to get the necessary feature enabled for xen.efi to build. If you have UEFI and would like to not have to rebuild binutils after updates, consider voting for this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36713

The 09_xen GRUB file does not properly handle detecting the linux-lts kernel files. Here's a patch to fix it (and also the ro/rw thing): http://www.zootboy.com/storage/09_xen.patch

@kantras: Package fails for 4.3.0-4 in the 'sanitize library path' section. It does `cd usr/` causing the next gzip command to not find the expected files. You should add `cd ..` right after `rm -rf lib64`

zman0900 commented on 2013-08-25 21:49 (UTC)

@kantras: The default for Arch now seems to be passing rw instead of ro on the kernel commandline, based on the 10_linux file from grub2. When I boot with ro systemd gives a warning about not being able to fsck. You should probably change the 09_xen file.

Ok, the new build is up on my website: http://www.kantras.info/xen/xen-4.3.0-4.tgz - it has the TOM register patch (the one which helps with the >3Gb memory assignment) as well as a little more cleanup (more to come) I've also included the ATI Passthrough patch, although its not enabled by default and so far I've only made sure that it would still compile if enabled

ok. With qemu-xen-traditional the domU seems pretty stable so I'm not in a hurry.
