@ArthurBorsboom You can install pandoc-bin in its place.

Xen doesn't build (anymore): entry.S: Assembler messages: entry.S:42: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* sections) for `-' entry.S:61: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `+' entry.S:115: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* sections) for `-' entry.S:110: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `-' make[6]: *** [/opt/tmp/makepkg/xen/src/xen-4.9.0/xen/Rules.mk:177: entry.o] Error 1 Any idea how to solve this?

Is the pandoc make dependency really necessary? It brings in exactly 101 haskell-* (dependency) packages.

Thanks das_j Hi finnland, I didn't have any issues installing or running win10 or freebsd11 amd64 iso zroot with ovmf. This patch for xen-4.9.0 built-in ovmf: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/fe4a28ccbfd33cae9e1f56b174d46b4eb2329efd.patch Or the full ovmf BIOS built with a modified Arch ovmf PKGBUILD. diff --git a/trunk/PKGBUILD b/trunk/PKGBUILD index f9297d0..098ab18 100644 --- a/trunk/PKGBUILD +++ b/trunk/PKGBUILD @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ # $Id$ # Maintainer: Thomas Bächler <thomas@archlinux.org> -pkgname=ovmf +pkgbase=ovmf +pkgname=('ovmf' 'ovmf-unsplit') pkgver=r22345.bec7a86c70 epoch=1 pkgrel=1 @@ -51,10 +52,15 @@ build() { ./BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/build } -package() { +package_ovmf() { #install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/Build/OvmfIa32/RELEASE_${_toolchain_opt}/FV/OVMF_CODE.fd "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/ovmf/ia32/OVMF_CODE.fd #install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/Build/OvmfIa32/RELEASE_${_toolchain_opt}/FV/OVMF_VARS.fd "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/ovmf/ia32/OVMF_VARS.fd install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_${_toolchain_opt}/FV/OVMF_CODE.fd "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_CODE.fd install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_${_toolchain_opt}/FV/OVMF_VARS.fd "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF_VARS.fd install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/OvmfPkg/License.txt "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/licenses/ovmf/License.txt } + +package_ovmf-unsplit() { + install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_${_toolchain_opt}/FV/OVMF.fd "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_x64.bin + install -D -m644 "${srcdir}"/edk2/OvmfPkg/License.txt "${pkgdir}"/usr/share/licenses/"${pkgname[2]}"/License.txt +} VM config ### Xen VM options ## http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/man/xl.cfg.5.html name="win10.cfg" builder="hvm" memory=2048 bios="ovmf" bios_path_override="/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_x64.bin" #device_model_args=[ "-debugcon", "file:ovmf_debug.log", "-global", "isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402"] hdtype="ahci" disk=[ "/mnt/server/software/os/Microsoft_Windows/to_check/Win10_1703_EnglishInternational_x64.iso, raw, xvdc, cdrom", # "/mnt/server/software/os/FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso, raw, xvdc, cdrom", "/dev/mapper/sda1_vg-win10, raw, xvda, rw" ] vif=[ "" ] vnc=1 vnclisten="0.0.0.0" vncunused=1 vncpasswd="pass" usb=1 usbdevice=[ "tablet" ]

@tony_42 Thank you, applied :) @maldo Building from AUR requires base-devel @maldo @asura Added SPICE dependency @JohnTh Applied all XSA patches

Hi JohnTh, after quite a bit of tinkering I got Xen built with the in tree ovmf. It does not build out of the box so i had to select a newer version, the one it selects from git by default has a bug in it. Anyhow I got it so far that I can start a machine using ovmf but it seems quite flaky, win 10 just reboots immediately , Freebsd 11 crashes. Arch works tho. I gave up for now and sticking with seabios, which seems to work.

Hi finnland, There was some discussion about this on the Xen lists. It is not clear if Xen currently will work with ovmf split code and vars. http://markmail.org/message/vh5kk53z3v4fxhpa If you do want to use system ovmf: Test if the Arch PKGBUILD ovmf combined image works with xen. I think it did when I tested some time ago. Easiest to makepkg ovmf and copy the combined image somewhere. Then use the xl vm guest options bios="ovmf" bios_path_override="path to ovmf" If this works, we could ask the Arch ovmf package maintainer to change the PKGBUILD to produce split packages of ovmf (as is) and ovmf-combined (only package the merged ovmf). Should be minimal changes to the PKGBUILD. https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/ovmf There are also a number of XSA patches for xen-4.9.0

The build flag --with-system-ovmf works the same as --with-system-seabios in that it should contain a path such as --with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_code_x64.bin. Cannot make it boot properly with it tho, unsure how to tell it about split ovmf images.

@JohnTh Thanks a lot, rebuilding kernel helped me

Hey Lazycat, This is an Arch linux 4.12 kernel bug due to CONFIG_INTEL_ATOMISP https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1711298 Arch bug here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/55447 The 201707 install disk uses 4.11 and boots Arch used 4.12 from 2017-07-05 https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/?h=packages/linux&id=6e70fcab0f7e068216f579f72385175113587083 You can build a 4.12 kernel with CONFIG_INTEL_ATOMISP=n or use the Arch Linux archive: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive#How_to_restore_all_packages_to_a_specific_date For the spice error, makedepend libcacard The spice Arch package removed it as a depend in 0.12.8+8+ga957a90b
