I don't think you can boot Solaris as a PV guest anymore, you should instead
boot it as a HVM guest. You will have to remove the kernel and ramdisk
options and instead add builder="hvm" (that you have left commented out).

Yes, should be easy. Will try to plug a binary port in.
By the way, I just managed to crash a whole machine by trying to
boot Solaris 11.3:
# builder = "hvm"
memory = 2048
vcpus = 1
name = "Solaris0"
disk = [ 'file:/root/sol-11_3-text-x86.iso,6:cdrom,r',
'/dev/zvol/zroot/solaris0,raw,hda,w' ]
kernel = "/root/xen/solaris/unix"
ramdisk = "/root/xen/solaris/boot_archive"
extra = "/platform/i86xpv/kernel/amd64/unix -B console=ttya,livemode=text"
#boot = "c"
usbdevice = 'tablet'
vnc = 1
vnclisten = '0.0.0.0'
vif = [ 'bridge=bridge0' ]
/root/xen/solaris/unix and /root/xen/solaris/boot_archive where extracted from
sol-11_3-text-x86.iso
("Intel text-only image").

Oh, thanks for the info, I didn't know OVMF provided pre-compiled binaries. This should make adding a OVMF port trivial. Would you like to take a stab at adding such a port and wiring it into the xen-tools package?

I got lazy and I have downloaded https://sourceforge.net/projects/edk2/files/OVMF/OVMF-X64-r15214.zip/download recompiled xen-tools by adding to xen-tools/Makefile CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--enable-ovmf CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-system-ovmf=/root/xen/OVMF.fd and worked pretty much out of the box. This is Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 2016, with GPL PV drivers added to get networking. My config: builder = "hvm" memory = 4096 vcpus = 2 name = "Windows" disk = [ '/dev/zvol/zroot/windows0,raw,hda,w','/root/fat.bin,raw,hdb,w' ] boot = "c" # Boot to hard disk image vnc = 2 vnclisten = "0.0.0.0" usbdevice = 'tablet' on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' acpi = 1 bios = 'ovmf' vif = [ 'bridge=bridge0' ] /root/fat.bin is a little partitioned "hard drive" with FAT16 partition used to provide GPL drivers.
