Are you starting Xen using the u-boot command "go"? Because this does not work with me. It gave me some headache sometime ago. The command that works is "bootm $xen_addr -" So, I''m curious, how do you start Xen on the board? Here is what env I have on u-boot: ipaddr=10.y.y.y ipconfig=10.y.y.y kernel_addr_r=0x40007000 serverip=10.x.x.x tftp_path=10.x.x.x:pxelinux.cfg usbethaddr=00:40:5c:26:0a:5b ethaddr=00:40:5c:26:0a:5b xen_addr_r=0x50000000 bootcmd_load_linux=tftpboot 0x40007000 10.80.3.61:pxelinux.cfg/linux-zImage boot_xen=run bootcmd_load_linux; tftpboot $xen_addr_r $tftp_path/xen-uImage; bootm $xen_addr_r - bootcmd=run boot_xen with 10.y.y.y the ip addr of the board and 10.x.x.x the ip of a tftp server (or PXE server). By the way, I''ve pushed a new branch: arndale-2013-02-13 which fix few things. This should make you pass the "turning on paging" step. After that, you will probably need few patches for Linux. I''ll push them later. Have fun, -- Anthony PERARD

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else is facing the same issue. I''ve copied Anthony''s PXE setup as well but without result. Using PXE or just sdcards and fatload both end up freezing at Xen start-up with the same " *- Turning on paging -* " message. Anthony you mentioned you previously had the same problem, maybe you could give me some more pointers on how to fix it?

Hi,
I managed to boot Xen on the arndale board using the instructions
provided on the wiki page. However, dom0 does not boot yet and i am also
very interested in Anthony''s patches for the dom0 kernel.
Besides applying Anthony''s patch i did the following:
First of all xen needs to be compiled with a dtb file.
XEN_TARGET_ARCH=arm32 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-
CONFIG_DTB_FILE=/home/xxxx/xen-arndale/linux_stable/arch/arm/boot/exynos5250-arndale.dtb
make dist-xen
Providing one via uboot bootm gives me a panic("Not not enough space
for xenheap\n"); during setup_mm.
Second Xen expects a cortex-a15 GIC, you need to patch the device tree
for this:
diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250.dtsi

};
combiner:interrupt-controller@10440000 {
Third i disabled CONFIG_ARM_APPENDED_DTB in the dom0. I am unsure if
this is necessary.
I also applied this little hack to make the kernel accept my device
tree, but the kernel still panics further in the boot process. I''m sure
there is a better solution but i will include it here anyway.

I hope this helps someone.
