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

I experienced the same problem as robertmarq and resolved it by adding the evtchn module.

I can not start xend. Error: Unable to connect to xend: No such file or directory. Is xend running? start xenstored.. [root@sistemas sistemas]# xenstored [root@sistemas sistemas]# FATAL: Failed to open evtchn device: No such file or directory

At least on x86_64, I needed to start xenstored, then xend, then xenconsoled in order to get proper functioning under xen 4.0.1-- this is with the pv-ops git repository, stable branch.

i have only one issue; when using vnc i can't start domu. in log file there is an error: xen be core: xen be core: can't open gnttab device can't open gnttab device

i found out that error is in xen-initscript.patch - in xend file, i have removed this patch and everything works now just fine :-) also i can compile and run xen without any patches...

I have to admit that the xen4 package, updated to 4.0.1 works. I will try this package now too. Morfeo do you recommend to use udev-151 or the most recent one?

robertfoster commented on 2010-08-30 14:26 (UTC)

I will investigate..now you can use xen4 PKG
