A partial (dom0 & PV) solution to the zstd compression issue that sticks to current kernels: https://gist.github.com/alaricljs/757d4b452335b187d7dff1b7e2c5808e
A Pacman hook that grabs the uncompressed kernel and puts it in /boot. Works on dom0 and PV guests (that's all that was tested, perhaps others work too).
Thanks to the previous comments I installed linux-lts and then sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg it worked :) A new entry appeared on GRUB menu and now I booted to dom0 successfully.
Thank you for your tip @g8sqh!!!
I've posted this issue on forums some days ago (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=260107), following the guidelines not to post questions etc here), but nobody answered.. ¬_¬
Please also note that Xen (4.14.0) no longer works with the standard Arch kernel (at least as dom-0)
Arch (at 5.9.1) compresses using zstd (CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD=1), and the ELF-reading code in Xen has a decompressor for xz (in xen/common/xz), but nothing for zstd
Message is elf-init: not an ELF binary and a (xen) kernel panic.
Until either Xen gains zstd, or Arch provides a kernel package using xz, you need an older kernel from the archive, or to build from source with CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=1
Gotcha @eduncan911. Link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259428
Everyone, please take this to the forums. Subscriptions to package notifications are just that: notifications about package updates, breaks, and news.
It's not a discussion, debugging, nor How To forum.
@skyzh Sorry for the flurry of comments; How do you actually apply that patch? I've done makepkg -o to just get the source files, I haven't done much manual makepkg work before.
@skyzh Got the same issue with GCC9 (can provide log snippets if need be), perhaps the patch you found is the only remedy at the moment.
@skyzh I'm getting the same problem, I'm going to attempt building with gcc9, which is in the community repo, then gcc8 if it still fails. I got nothing else better to do right now.
@Refutationalist It seems to be an issue related to gcc10. Here's the version info of my compiler.
Using built-in specs.

Please Note: Per best-practices by upstream this package follows the git stable branch. Minor releases do not require a version bump and the PKGBUILD will provide the appropriate version number.
stubdom is still broken.
