similar to: Xen/ARM multiboot (v2) support

Hey guys, Here are my thoughts about current Xen boot infrastructure and some changes proposal. It is linked with EFI development but not only. Since the beginning Xen image and other needed stuff could be loaded into memory according to multiboot protocol. (e.g. implemented by GRUB). It means that current implementation of Xen takes info about current system config from multiboot_info_t

Following is one grub entry menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32.27" { insmod ntfs set root=''(hd0,2)'' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 96f65c80f65c6313 loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk set root=(loop0) linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32.27 root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro quiet splash initrd

I am trying to extract and combine the various pieces of information found in [1] and its sub-pages and the Xen in-tree documentation in order to make xen boot (potentially non-smp without some later changes). But since I am not familiar enough with Arm I think I am stuck doing something wrong. I compiled the hypervisor with debug and early printk for midway and use the xen.bin file (I could get

Hi, Now that the Arndale board is supported in upstream Xen I don''t get any output on the serial console. I followed the instructions on the wiki with no luck: The xen repository I''m using is: git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git last commit: 61c6dfce3296da2643c4c4f90eaab6fa3c1cf8b3 The linux repository is: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/julieng/linux-arm.git last commit:

Hi All, Now that we have multiboot capable pxelinux, thanks to mboot.c32, I decided to try and remove pxegrub from my x86 jumpstart infrastructure since, in theory, pxelinux can now do it all. The problem I'm having is I'm not very sure I'm following Tim's documentation correctly... I'm not 100% what comes after the --- and whether the Sun kernel needs it's arguments

I used to use multiple syslinux floppy images to implement what I call CD-ROM-multiboot (EL Torito supports up to 64 bootable images, Award BIOS 8 images, if not wrey old). Now that floppies are getting too small, I find that I must find a workaround for hard coded isolinux directory name in isolinux. Not a big deal, but there might be also others who would like to have multiboot feature. --

Hi, some time ago I tried to boot an isolinux boot loader from another one to be able to boot e.g. a Knoppix CD with its original boot loader and menus from a "main" isolinux on a multiboot DVD. This works for isolinux <= 3.07 now! However, newer isolinux boot loaders have some problems and the isolinux (e.g. of the Knoppix CD) loaded from the multiboot DVD's main isolinux

Hi Ian, I try compile the bootwrapper for cubieboard2 like this: joshzhao@joshzhao-ThinkCentre-M58p:~/project/Xen/A20/boot-wrapper$ make cubieboard2_defconfig CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- # # configuration written to .config # joshzhao@joshzhao-ThinkCentre-M58p:~/project/Xen/A20/boot-wrapper$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- make -C scripts/kconfig -f Makefile.bootwrapper

Hello Xen folks, I use Debian Squeeze. I want to passthrough PCI devices. With the old stable Debian (grub legacy) i did not have problems. I edit /etc/default/grub like: quote: GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN_DEFAULT="quiet xen-pciback.permissive xen-pciback.hide=(00:14.2)(01:05.1)" I run "update-grub". Now i look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen

Hi, I want to slowly migrate from Debian to CentOS, so I setup a multiboot on my main machine. There's a Debian Etch install on /dev/hda, and GRUB is also installed on the Debian side. On /dev/hdb, I have CentOS 5. I fdisked the drive manually, then chose manual partitioning during install. The setup for CentOS is: hdb1 -> swap hdb2 -> /boot, ext2 hdb3 -> / , ext3 After

Upstream commit 4370eec05a88 "arm64: Expand arm64 image header" ended up changing the zImage magic (which was actually the initial branch instructio encoding!). The new header has a proper magic number at a fixed location. Switch Xen itself to using this format. Neither the bootwrapper nor the models care about this header themselves and real bootloaders are not widely used, so now is

Hi all, I have a multiboot configuration with 2 linuxes using grub as a boot loader. Both are working installations independently of Xen. I have installed Xen kernels on both systems. I want to boot one of the two systems as Domain 0, and the other as Domain 1 so that I can run the two systems simultaneously. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not. TIA, nb a domU kernel from a

I''ve now given up trying to get grub working with my particular e1000 adapter, I''ve tried all the patches and all I can get is something that works a little bit but never past the grub menu. I''m sure I read something somewhere about a tool which would combine a multiboot image + modules into a single bootable item which could be loaded by lilo, and am hoping that the

Hi Xen Developers, I had tested new XenARM for Arndale board that is updated in Anthony''s tree from 2 days ago. I expected that will be working. But, I can not boot Dom0 Kernel. I used kernel and XenARM both are from Xen Wiki(http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Arndale). It (seems) stopped after "(XEN) Freed 212kB init memory" message. When I

Peter, Is this page update to date? http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=boot/syslinux/syslinux.git;a=shortlog I sent a multiboot symbol table loading patch (syslinux-3.11-mboot-sym_table-patch) a few months ago and I thought you have checked it in. I didn't follow up after that. But i dont see it in the changes now, should i resend it? thanks, Ram

can anyone help me? i've pretty much mastered making multiboot floppy image cd's. what i really need now is a way to choose between multiple cd iso images. for instance. i want to burn a dvd or cd that will give me a menu of iso images that i can run. so if i want to choose between knoppix, smoothwall, netbox, partition magic, etc., i should be able to. only prob is that i can't figure

I have client running windows 2000 which is part of a domain with a samba (2.2.3a) server running as PDC. Authentication works fine. On the _same_ client I have added a partition that boots into Win XP, it has the same machine name. However I cannot get it to join the domain. I can use the administrator account to look at objects on the pdc, but when I try to create a user account I get a

From: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> The zImage compatible binary is the useful one on real hardware. The relocated ELF thing is only really useful when booting directly on Fast Models. The customary suffix for that case is .axf so provide that as a target. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Cc: Wookey <wookey@linaro.org> --- xen/arch/arm/Makefile |

Hello, Im trying to learn syslinux and want to create a multiboot flashdrive, which will have more than one liveCD available for booting. I've installed a simple live cd (secure linux live cd disk#1) to my Fat32 partition. It boots well. Now i want to add another live CD (geexbox disk#2) to boot from the same Fat32 partition. I need to copy some files from live cd (geexbox) and add them
