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

I think it's an issue with gcc7. I found this patch http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/5f85cbb which gets around the error reported by ArthurBorsboom but then I get a similar error shortly after: [BUILD] bin/ath5k_desc.o drivers/net/ath/ath5k/ath5k_desc.c: In function 'ath5k_hw_setup_2word_tx_desc': drivers/net/ath/ath5k/ath5k_desc.c:106:15: error: this statement may fall through [-Werror=implicit-fallthrough=] frame_type = AR5K_AR5210_TX_DESC_FRAME_TYPE_NO_DELAY; drivers/net/ath/ath5k/ath5k_desc.c:107:3: note: here case AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PIFS: ^~~~

For anyone else using Manjaro (or probably me in the future) the kernels are named differently in Manjaro. I had to apply this patch in order to get the grub menu entried to be generated correctly: diff --git a/etc/grub.d/09_xen b/etc/grub.d/09_xen index 59ac88a..3a41376 --- a/etc/grub.d/09_xen +++ b/etc/grub.d/09_xen @@ -38,11 +38,11 @@ _FUNC_GRUB_FILE_PRESENT() { case "${GRUB_PLATFORM}" in x86) - list="$(for i in "${GRUB_ROOT}"/boot/vmlinuz-linux* ; do + list="$(for i in "${GRUB_ROOT}"/boot/vmlinuz-* ; do if grub_file_is_not_garbage "${i}" && "${grub_file}" ${check} "${i}" ; then echo -n "${i} " ; fi done)" ;; *) - list="$(for i in "${GRUB_ROOT}"/boot/vmlinuz-linux* ; do + list="$(for i in "${GRUB_ROOT}"/boot/vmlinuz-* ; do if grub_file_is_not_garbage "${i}" && "${grub_file}" ${check} "${i}" ; then echo -n "${i} " ; fi done)" ;; esac

I just tried building 4.8.0-7 from a clean install-- I usually do this so I can catch missing dependencies and to control clutter. I got a build failure: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/a8c48f68b086a14407cc0067c222ce00

Thanks, specifying the seabios file in the PKGBUILD as you suggested worked!

tony_42 commented on 2017-04-03 14:04 (UTC)

@jsteel: I think it's a mistake in the PKGBUILD. It should be: --with-system-seabios=/usr/share/qemu/bios-256k.bin (so with the path to SeaBIOS specified) There should be a path as well for OVMF, but I just realize the package change recently so I don't know if it's going to work with Xen.

After updating from 4.8.0-4 to 4.8.0-5 I installed seabios but I get an error when booting a domU: libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:892:libxl__load_hvm_firmware_module: failed to read BIOS file: No such file or directory I've gone back to 4.8.0-4 for now. Any idea what else is needed apart from installing seabios for non-UEFI systems now? Thanks.

Hitting repeated issues building this when downloading ovmf: -> Cloning ovmf git repo...

[y/N] ==> ---------------------------- Tried removing ovmf from the PKGBUILD (removed all lines referring to ovmf except for the 'optDepends' entry) and then checksum validations fail, but with no file mentioned. And yes I did remove all the ovmf entries! Is anyone else getting this?

Bumped to 4.8.0-5. This version adds XSA-211, splits out SeaBIOS and OVMF and disables Werror (hopefully).
