Hi all,
I am trying to setup xen with a linux-aufs_friendly kernel. I have installed xen from AUR and see xen in /boot; however, I don't see a new initramfs, I only see:
xen-4.2.1.gz
xen-syms-4.2.1I also don't have any xen hooks in /lib/initcpio. I'm attempting to follow this guide, but I'm missing the modified initramfs:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen#Obtaining_Xen
Can I run xen with my special kernel? What am I missing here?

You don't need special kernel unless you want to redirect devices. I found it much easier to compile in xen modules in to the kernel.
You need o follow this . After installation and before the domU is rebooted, the following modules must be added to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf:
MODULES="xen-blkfront xen-fbfront xen-netfront xen-kbdfront"
Without these modules, the domU will not boot correctly. After saving the edit, rebuild the initramfs with the following command:
mkinitcpio -p linux
You need to edit grub config file per example to load microcernel

Hey thanks for your reply. I misread that section, I thought it meant HOOKS.
