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

Well it looks like xl is looking in wrong place for xenstored.pid libxl: error: libxl.c:56:libxl_ctx_init Is xenstore daemon running? failed to stat /var/run/xenstored.pid: No such file or directory src/xen-4.1.2/tools/libxl/libxl_internal.h needs to be patched /var/run/xenstored.pid needs to be changed to /run/daemons/xenstored.pid

My environment are x86_64. core/linux-lts 3.0.17-1 I got an error below while compiling. "ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored." and I had to do.. To compile done: lib32-fakeroot (must build) extra/bin86 (extra dependency with dev86) To run: core/bridge-utils modprobe -a xen-evtchn (or add rc.conf)

I can't get xen to work with the arch kernel on x86_64. I get a lot of "Illegal Instruction" during initramfs and it fails to boot. Screenshot of error here http://imgur.com/zn92R Syslinux cmdline is: COM32 mboot.c32 ../xen-4.1.2.gz dom0_mem=8G iommu=1 --- ../vmlinux-linux root=/dev/md126p2 ro --- ../initramfs-linux.img Anyone know how to fix this?

Looks like the package needs 'bin86' in makedepends. (as86 missing)

Could you add: sed -i '/xen_configfile/d' "${pkgdir}/etc/grub.d/09_xen" to the end of the PKGBUILD or remove the xen_configfile line from 09_xen? That fixes the GRUB2 config generation problem.
