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

Naruni: This pkgbuild only contains the hypervisor and supporting utilities. Its responsible for loading which ever kernel you've specified.

Naruni commented on 2014-09-01 17:08 (UTC)

When booting from UEFI, kernel cannot mount root partition due to "unknown filesystem vfat" Where are the kernel config options in this pkgbuild? 3.16.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT

ryad0m: autoconf is part of base-devel. This is assumed to be installed when using the AUR - see here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository The base-devel group, for reference: https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/base-devel/ So no, it should _NOT_ be added to makedepends.

Please, add core/autoconf in makedepends

I think that with the last update of libiscsi (1.7.0-2 -> 1.12.0-1), xen should be recompiled.

Actually the patch, which is different to that one, went in a few weeks later - the current kernels haven't been giving me any issues on the dev machine

I think I found something: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-03/msg02923.html Looks like a new patch was applied at the same time the old one was reverted. I'm about to upgrade for the first time in about 4 months, so I guess I'll find out if it works...

zman0900 commented on 2014-08-10 02:57 (UTC)

"Just a quick FYI - They've reverted a patch in the recent kernel releases, which may cause instabilities with applications (such as Firefox) running under PV domains (also dom0, which is technically a PV domain). The patch worked for this use case, but broke other things, so the patch was reverted and a new one is being worked on." Any news on this? Anyone know if a new fix has been merged?

Traced the issue to the lvm2 hook. Had a working system, added it and things did not boot again. removed the hook and once again the system booted fine. My original installation was on a lv so I needed it there. This time I used linux (83) for rootfs so it was not needed. I thought i needed it to load a vm when it didnt boot originally, but then the system didnt boot. Removed it and now things are happy again.

Maybe it can be a video problem. Maybe xen booted but is not showing anything. Try press a key like Num Lock. Dou you notice that the led is blinking? If the answser is true maybe you can set a vesa driver or small resolution on grub boot parameter for xen kernel.
