Has anyone gotten Xen 3.X to work on Arch?
I have tried two packages from the AUR and neither have worked as is. (Xen (3.2) and Xen-Bin (3.1) ).
If anyone has, I would appreciate any pointers that could be provided. The quick results from the above two packages are:
xen 3.2 - actually, couldn't build since it is missing a file. I tried to download the file from the xen.org site. I could not get the makepkg to run (compile keep error out on the same error)
xen-bin 3.1 - I have gotten a couple of different errors here.
First, the install (makepkg worked great) did not build the kernel26xen.img correctly. So I tried a bunch of things; but never could get mkinitcpio to create an image that would boot. I keep getting an error about the /dev/sda3 root partition not found/valid.
Second, I tried to create the kernel image with mkinitrd. I final got this to work (needed to run depmod -a 2.6.18-xen first and modify the mkinitrd.conf file). However, with this I am now stuck at loading the kernel image and am getting the following error:
mdadm: No arrays found in config file
mount: Mounting /dev/root on /new_root failed: No such device or address
pivot_root: pivot_root: No such file or directory
mount: /initrd: No such file or directory
mount: /initrd: No such file or directory
linuxrc: 543: /sbin/busybox not found

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned offIf anyone has experience (or thoughts) on how to get xen working on Archlinux, I would appreciate any help. I still want to try to get it to work on Arch but recognize I might need to change underlying OSes.

Can you try these packages?

Keep in mind that the kernel Xen uses (2.6.18) may not have support for your disk controller.
