Bug#703586: Xen fails to boot Linux dom0 under UEFI

How do I assist with getting this in for Jessie? I have this working in a fairly easy setup, it basically only requires the pep target to be on for debian’s Xen package, and a tiny bit of infrastructure to get xen.efi, vmlinuz, an initrd and a xen.cfg on to the ESP partition and letting the

ACPI. (I don’t really know if that is true, just thinking out loud) Another reason why booting might not work is if you have the older e-801 issue. Both are solved with running Xen without Grub, straight on UEFI. John On Sun, 7 Sep 2014 13:42:46 +0200 John Keates j...@keates.nl wrote: Iíll

Bug#703586: Slight mistake in version difference

I’m so sorry for mailing in a bunch of times, I now see that this is for a different version. The UEFI bug is still valid, but the fix is only for Jessie (Xen 4.4+). Earlier Xen versions have no official EFI patches or support. Sorry! I should probably find the bug report for Jessie + Xen 4.4

Bug#863198: [Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#863198: Xen compiling with XSM on

Have you tried building the package instead? I find that ‘make install’ often doesn’t do what you expect when a project is engineered to work as a package. Try the following: - run apt-get source and apt-get build-sep as you did - Edit rules.real in the debian directory, you can add configure

I’ll pile on top of this: domUs crash with the kernel as well, with a GPF. Looks like any Xen + 4.9.0-7 = Crash, regardless of it being a domU or dom0. John > On 15 Jul 2018, at 21:55, Sebastien KOECHLIN wrote: > > Package: src:linux > Followup-For: Bug #903821 > > When booting with the new

HI Hans, We probably should update the mailing list anyway since not everybody will be on GitLab anyway. Here is how you can test it: 1. Install Xen with OVMF support 2. Install OVMF (which basically just gets you the binary file, package is called ovmf) 3. Get an EFI-bootable image, the
