As of now (2024-22-05) Xen with stubdom doesn't build because of a problem in the imported code. Been this way for about two weeks. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Also, there is a lot of work happening on Xen in my development repo, thanks to @Serus. Check it out at: https://github.com/refutationalist/saur

Looks like the checksum on xsa254-diff-release410-comet1.1.patch is incorrect.

Today I upgraded from 4.8 to 4.10, and I got this (no more information is available, so I don't know what should I do; also, google has no any usable info):

If your guest cannot see disks, make sure you have the xen-blkfront module loaded in your guest. You can use a serial port on the dom0 to get the full Xen log. I have a 4.10 PKGBUILD here: https://gitlab.com/archlinux-packages-johnth/xen

@mbroemme if you happen to have a git repo or PKGBUILD for 4.10 I'd love to give it a try; for some reason I'm having issues with linux install disks not detecting the HDD on any VM I try to setup and also been getting some errors after xen boots prior to the kernel but haven't been able to capture them at all.

Hoping that 4.10 resolves these for me.

@das_j: According to the wiki 4.10 was released. If you want I can also take it over and continue to maintain it.

@ezequiel.ezb: Import key via 'gpg --recv-keys 83FE14C957E82BD9' and retry build

All dependencies install correctly, however, I get this error afterwards:

@das_j: Xen 4.9 has full multiboot2 support to make EFI + Grub + Xen working out of the box. See https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_EFI In Arch Linux there is already grub2 2.02 with working multiboot2, so could cou please apply the following patch to grub-mkconfig-helper: https://zuppy.pm/patches/xen-grub2-efi-multiboot2.patch I've tested it already, with this patch Xen can be booted via grub in BIOS and UEFI mode. Without the patch you are forced to switch to BIOS mode or use EFI binary directly which makes multi-OS / grub2 booting very complicated.
