I run an Opensuse 13.2 Xen server.
Currently, the following are installed & active in Dom0.
rpm -qa | grep -i xen | sort
grub2-x86_64-xen-2.02~beta2-20.10.1.x86_64
kernel-xen-4.2.5-1.1.g27d2719.x86_64
xen-4.5.1_10-390.1.x86_64
xen-libs-4.5.1_10-390.1.x86_64
xen-tools-4.5.1_10-390.1.x86_64
The server mobo is UEFI capable. It's configured to boot Dom0 from UEFI
via still-necessary chainload
tree /boot/efi/
/boot/efi/
└── EFI
├── opensuse
│ └── grubx64.efi
└── XEN
├── initrd-xen
├── vmlinuz-xen
├── xen.cfg
└── xen.efi
etc
Works fine.
IIUC,
(1) Xen 4.6 is arriving soon
(2) Kernel 4.3+ is arriving soon
(3) Opensuse's moving from patched kernel-xen to pvops-integrated
kernel for Dom0/DomU
Will any of that^^ progress result in DIRECT-booting of Opensuse Dom0 on
EUFI hardware, removing the necessity to chainload?
