On a KGPE-D16 with GNU Boot 0.1 RC5 with a GRUB image, ECC RAM, and Trisquel 11, I can boot with xen.

I did apt install xen-hypervisor libvirt-daemon-driver-xen libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-daemon (+ I also installed other libvirt-daemon like for LXC and so on).

I rebooted on the xen kernel and I even get graphics during the xen kenrel boot and I didn't need to adjust anything, and I can connect to libvirt with virt-manager to Xen (xen+ssh://root@<machine IP or domain name>/).

I've not tried yet to install Trisquel in paravirtualized mode.

Also there too, /dev/kvm disapears.

With:

  • A ThinkPad X200
  • SeaBIOS high resolution (GNU Boot 0.1 RC3)
  • Trisquel 11
  • xen-system-amd64
  • passing iommu=no to the xen kernel


Trisquel 11 boots.

I made a typo between XEN and LXC for some reasons.

Since we want to understand the limitations of GNU Boot, we need to document what kernels shipped by FSDG distros it is compatible with.

With an X200 with a broken Ethernet card (replaced by a builtin USB card with some hardware modifications) I can boot Trisquel with LXC in various configurations.

However for some reasons /dev/kvm disapear when using LXC, so that is annoying as we kind of require /dev/kvm for compiling GNU Boot.
