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

kantras: thank you for taking this on! I tried to get gfx passthrough (PCIe passthrough of a NVidia GeForce 660 card) working a few months ago and failed. Do you have pass-through working for an NVidia GeForce card currently or recently? (This is off-topic so if you want to take it to email, please feel free to email me.)

Ok, the latest v4.3.0-5 version has been uploaded. If anyone needs the 4.2 version, that should be still available via the previous link (and I can backport fixes if still needed)

@ironicbadger: This is a known issue when dealing with passing through ATI graphics cards - the graphics card isn't reset and the graphics drivers don't do it either. There has been success when using an Nvidia Quadro card (or a GeForce which has been modified to look like a Quadro - the Nvidia Quadro drivers are better designed for handling virtualized environments) I'm also watching some discussion on the xen-devel list about other ways this could be tackled but nothing available there yet.

I had offered, we just hadn't been around at the same time to be able to transfer :)

Kantras, please take ownership :)

shanmu isn't very active with this package, kantras, have you thought about maintaining it? Your PKGBUILD fixes at least some bluez v. bluez4 issues: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1330200#p1330200

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

zootboy commented on 2013-08-27 15:15 (UTC)

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
