I've installed an openSUSE 13.2 server. The server's built on a modern Supermicro motherboard with full UEFI support. openSUSE boots ok via GRUB2+UEFI to kernel-default. uname -r 3.19.2-3.gd8856ce-default I'm working on the switch to a Xen Dom0 I installed efibootmgr-0.6.0-3.2.2.x86_64 grub2-x86_64-efi-2.02~beta2-20.5.1.x86_64 grub2-x86_64-xen-2.02~beta2-20.5.1.x86_64 kernel-xen-3.19.2-3.1.gd8856ce.x86_64 xen-4.5.0_03-359.6.x86_64 xen-libs-4.5.0_03-359.6.x86_64 xen-tools-4.5.0_03-359.6.x86_64 When I boot/select the Xen option it stalls at WARNING: no console will be available to os ... loading initramd ... There's no console output. A search on the message led me to http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-users/2014-03/msg00142.html It is not possible to boot EFI Xen via grub. You should instead boot it direct from the EFI shell. http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html has some documentation for the config file which Xen expects when booting in this mode. Daniel Kiper is working with grub upstream to make a version of multiboot which is compatible with EFI for use when booting Xen via grub on such systems. AFAIK it is not complete. and http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html When booted as an EFI application, Xen requires a configuration file as described below unless a bootloader, such as GRUB, has loaded the modules and describes them in the device tree provided to Xen. If a bootloader provides a device tree containing modules then any configuration files are ignored, and the bootloader is responsible for populating all relevant device tree nodes. I'm not sure if those are relevant to this case. Does opensuse Xen Dom0 boot from GRUB2+UEFI? What/where do I need to edit to fix the 'no console' error?
