This patch set mainly allows the user to build a seabios or rombios only version of hvmloader. In addition, when building a seabios only hvmloader, Option ROMs like vgabios and etherboot are no longer required, and therefore can be disabled from the build. Dependency on the bcc compiler can also be avoided the same way. v2: Separate patches for separate issues Introduced config option to

When booting HVMs with SeaBIOS, the BIOS itself takes care of extracting option ROMs from the PCI devices. These ROMs are usually provided with by the device model (qemu). Thus, hvmloader should not require any longer the rombios, stdvga, cirrusvga or etherboot ROMs to be present. Also, the 32bitbios_support.c file is specific to rombios and should not be built when building hvmloader with

These two fixes are the final two outstanding issues in tools/firmware. They are both quite minor. Signed-off-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> -- 1.7.10.4

A "main" function is defined in Xen-3.1.0-source/tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c. In this main function, rombios, vgabios and vmxassist are copied to specified address, with following commands memcpy((void *)ROMBIOS_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, rombios, rombios_sz); ... memcpy((void *)ETHERBOOT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS, etherboot, sizeof(etherboot)); .... But after searching the whole

Thank you. I notice the system then jumps to F000:FFF0 to execute. But because VMX is turned on, switching to real-mode would incur problems? I don’t find any clue to turn on the vm86 mode as Readme in the tools/firmware directory puts.

Hi Trying to get WinXP HVM to install as domU on AMD. Got latest Xen Kernel and Xen package (NOT unstable or debug). When start, a window pops up for few seconds.. then it dies and another one comes up... and it disappears too. (Xen is trying to restart and giving up because the restart happens in 2 seconds..) It seems DomU is not able to read/understand something from Cirrus VGABIOS.

If anyone is still interested in this old thread, I have a rh7.3 image running under hvm. It''s a hack, but here''s what I did: Install rh7.3 in a vmware machine with vmware server. Booted off a live cd, ( I used a gentoo installer CD, but any live cd should work) Created a lvm volume on my Xen dom0 >From the liveCD, I use dd to copy the disk image to the lvm image (dd

Hello, I am currently trying to suspend a HVM domU via ACPI. However, after "xl trigger vm s3suspend" the virtual machine freezes after 2-3 seconds (I get a prompt at xl console before that!), and keeps printing the following lines: [ 240.428145] INFO: task jbd2/xvda1-8:146 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Hi, When I first built my Debian package, I needed to depend on qemu-system | qemu, since there was no other ways to pull needed BIOS files. It seems the situation changed, and that I could depend on less stuff from the qemu package. Maybe only the package named "etherboot" and "vgabios". To do that, my plan is to simply package a folder named: /usr/share/xen/qemu with in

Aiming at a release later in October (before Xen Summit I would hope), I''d like to cut RC1 next week. Please indicate any bug fixes that so far may have been missed in the backports already done. Jan

Hi List, many People seem to be interested in the Graphic-Card Passthrough Feature (for more or less obvious reasons). Official Support is still under development, and i hope not to interfere with it in any (bad) way ... But i remember my own painfull and timeconsuming research when i wanted this feature to work, so i thought perhaps this spares some time for the unpatient users like me :)

I am trying to get QNX working with Xen. I''ve going about it in a similar way as installing windows with Xen, but when I start the guest up to install the OS it hangs on the line: ''Hit Esc for .altboot.......'' If anyone has managed to get this working, or has any ideas/advice for me here it would be greatly appreciated! Bryan

We (Michael Fetterman, George Dunlap and I) have been working over the last while on a full replacement for Xen''s shadow pagetable support. This mail contains some design notes, below; a patch against xen-unstable, giving a snapshot of the current state of the new shadow code, is at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~tjd21/shadow2.patch Comments on both are welcome, although the code is not

I just did a ./configure and then make on a fresh debian 6.0 64-bit install. ./configure caught most of the missing dependencies except the following, which caused compilation failures. 1. libncurses5-dev (I get errors from tools/misc, concerning gtraceview) 2. bin86 & bcc & iasl - during firmware compilation 3. python-dev (from tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc) I am not sure if I was doing
