| Summary | 0001272: Config options for dom0/domU xen support | ||||
| Description | Opened for tracking purposes as we are currently in the process of working on the config. Taken from: https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1268#c8660 I have a rebuild of this will full dom0/domU xen support installed and working, I took a look at the fc36 xen config for a similar kernel: CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=y CONFIG_XEN_SCSI_FRONTEND=m CONFIG_XEN_WDT=m CONFIG_DRM_XEN_FRONTEND=m CONFIG_USB_XEN_HCD=y CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON=y CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y CONFIG_XEN_BACKEND=y CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=m CONFIG_XEN_GNTDEV=m CONFIG_XEN_GRANT_DEV_ALLOC=m # CONFIG_XEN_GRANT_DMA_ALLOC is not set CONFIG_XEN_GRANT_DMA_OPS=y CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO_FORCE_GRANT=y CONFIG_XEN_VIRTIO=y CONFIG_XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC=y These are the corrected settings for dom0 and especially domU in dom0 guest support. IOW for dom0 to create domU guests, these are needed. The above settings were missing or wrong in the elrepo config above for x86_64. | ||||

@prymar56 In kernel-ml-5.19.12-0.rc4.el9.elrepo, the Xen stuff is now enabled. Can you test this release? https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/devel/kernel-ml/el9/x86_64/RPMS/ |

Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. Any idea what may be causing the drm warning message? Do you see similar warnings when booting the RHEL kernel? |
|
|
It would appear the drm warning is cosmetic and comes from the i915 Intel graphics driver code, and can be ignored: https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16414 Marking this bug as resolved. If you have any more (related) issues, please feel free to reopen or open a new bug. Thanks again for providing configs and testing. |
