Hi Attilio I have updated to the upstream Xen and try to boot into OVMF bios. Instead of fetching the OVMF code from the git mirror, I just copy the OVMF bios to ovmf directory. I use the bios="ovmf" in the HVM config file. But, there is an error when I create the domain. root@gavin-laptop:~# xl create hvm_ubuntu.hvm Parsing config file /root/hvm_ubuntu.hvm WARNING: specifying "tsc_mode" as an integer is deprecated. Please use the named parameter variant. e.g. tsc_mode="default" failed to free memory for the domain So, do you have any ideas about this problem? Thank you very much.

It''s OK for me now. I can get the right OVMF bios in tools/firmware/ovmf. I provide my environment. It''s Ubuntu 10.04 and X86_64 bit kernel. However, I still cannot not boot into the OVMF bios. The error is the same as the above. Could anyone tell me how this error "failed to free memory for the domain" came about?

Hi,
I trace the code and there seems to be something error in the
function libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault() in libxl_create.c.
int libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault(libxl__gc *gc,
libxl_domain_build_info *b_info)
{
...
if (b_info->type == LIBXL_DOMAIN_TYPE_HVM) {
if (!b_info->u.hvm.bios)
switch (b_info->device_model_version) {
case 1: b_info->u.hvm.bios = LIBXL_BIOS_TYPE_ROMBIOS; break;
case 2: b_info->u.hvm.bios = LIBXL_BIOS_TYPE_SEABIOS; break;
default:return ERROR_INVAL;
}
/* Enforce BIOS<->Device Model version relationship */
switch (b_info->device_model_version) {
case 1:
if (b_info->u.hvm.bios != LIBXL_BIOS_TYPE_ROMBIOS)
return ERROR_INVAL;
break;
case 2:
if (b_info->u.hvm.bios == LIBXL_BIOS_TYPE_ROMBIOS)
return ERROR_INVAL;
break;
default:abort();
}
}
Note the red part of the code above. If we set the option bios="ovmf"
in
HVM config file, the vale of b_info->u.hvm.bios is 3. And the
variable LIBXL_BIOS_TYPE_ROMBIOS is always 1. So, in the xl_cmdimpl.c, we
get the error "failed to free memory for the domain". Maybe this error
will
also happen when we boot into the Seabios.
Please correct me if possible. Thank you very much.

And the > variable LIBXL_BIOS_TYPE_ROMBIOS is always 1.OVMF and SeaBIOS are only going to be supported with upstream qemu and ROMBIOS will only be supported with the traditional qemu tree. Naughty of me to use the bare numbers there, I should have used the enum names. Will send out a patch.> So, in the xl_cmdimpl.c, we get the error "failed to free memory for > the domain".
