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

Actually the patch, which is different to that one, went in a few weeks later - the current kernels haven't been giving me any issues on the dev machine

I think I found something: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-03/msg02923.html Looks like a new patch was applied at the same time the old one was reverted. I'm about to upgrade for the first time in about 4 months, so I guess I'll find out if it works...

"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." Any news on this? Anyone know if a new fix has been merged?

Traced the issue to the lvm2 hook. Had a working system, added it and things did not boot again. removed the hook and once again the system booted fine. My original installation was on a lv so I needed it there. This time I used linux (83) for rootfs so it was not needed. I thought i needed it to load a vm when it didnt boot originally, but then the system didnt boot. Removed it and now things are happy again.

Maybe it can be a video problem. Maybe xen booted but is not showing anything. Try press a key like Num Lock. Dou you notice that the led is blinking? If the answser is true maybe you can set a vesa driver or small resolution on grub boot parameter for xen kernel.

ever since 4.4.0-3 and Kernel 3.15 my screen goes black upon booting xen. I tried syslinux and Grub with the same results. I re-installed arch at least times, keeping with the beginners guide and then xen install instructions. I have no idea what and why, but the screen just goes black and things require a hard reset. The normal arch kernel is fine, but nothing I do helps get me going. I even tried using downgrader to try older kernels, but those too had the same result.

Kantras, Thanks for the update. Working like a charm. Any chances of adding Spice support to the PKG? Cheers

Did anyone compile efi xen and set EFI VENDOR ?

Hello! If you try to create an HVM guest with usb=1 you get this message: libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:1371:device_model_spawn_outcome: domain 1 device model: spawn failed (rc=-3) libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1186:domcreate_devmodel_started: device model did not start: -3 libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:1475:kill_device_model: Device Model already exited I solved installing usbredir. It's not a dependecy but an optional one for sure!
