The Xen module is unnecessary and it has been for a while.

It also has some problems: 1) it does not try loading xen_platform_pci; 2) it loads modules unnecessarily; modules.alias is where all Xen

This is an update to the Linux part of the Xen PVFB. Linux Xen PVFB is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers: drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse. Their backends run in dom0 user space. Parts in this patch series: 1. Enable Xen console by default in domU 2. Pointer z-axis (mouse wheel) support 3. Module

The user has the option of disabling the platform driver: 00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01) which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc) and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes to disable that they can set: xen_platform_pci=0 (in the guest config file) or xen_emul_unplug=never (on the Linux command

Hi, I have Xen installed and running several (win 7) HVMs. I've setup an Arch linux PV guest but I am having a problem booting it. (The install image booted fine.) After each failed attempt to boot I try to view the /var/log/xen/bootloader.XX.log file but all of these files are zero bytes. So, I'm having some trouble troubleshooting this. I followed the instructions from
