Xen EFI with Alpine Linux dom0
#1
Hello all,

I have been working on getting Xen EFI working on the RockPro64 with Alpine Linux as a dom0. I have managed to get as far as the initial ramdisk mounting the root filesystem for dom0 but unfortunately that is where I get stuck and I fall into a emergency shell. Listing out /dev I can´t see any block devices to mount:

Code:

  • Uboot is able to see all storage devices
  • No storage devices are found including arbitrary usb drives in the initramfs emergency shell
  • fdisk -l yields no output 
  • Issue is present on both microsd card and emmc
  • Attempts to mount the various ramdisks to /sysroot but this fail
I am compiling the latest u-boot and both the latest xen kernel avialble in the edge repository as well as a xen kernel compiled from the latest source exhibit the problem. As far as device trees go I have used both the one provided by the lts kernel in the edge repository and one from a kernel I compiled, I can´t get the kernel to work but the device tree works fine. I have tried taking the kernel and the relevant files from Ayufan´s Bionic release but this appears to freeze at loading the initial ramdisk, I am not sure if the problem lies where the output from the serial console ends or later down the line.

At present I suspect that the line near the bottom of the log relating to dwmmc_rockchip error might be at play but the USB drivers appear to load correctly and I am not able to see USB block devices either. 

A few side notes of interest:

- If you want to boot the xen EFI binary on the RockPro64 it must be arranged as follows (I have not tested case-sensitivity): 
  • All kernels, EFI binaries, initial ramdisks and configuration files must reside on the EFI partition under /EFI/BOOT/
  • The EFI binary must be named BOOTAA64.EFI 
  • The EFI configuration file must be named BOOTAA64.CFG
Here is my BOOTAA64.CFG:
Code:
[global]
default=xen

[xen]
options=console=dtuart dtuart=serial2 loglvl=all dom0_mem=1G dom0_max_vpcus=1
dtb=rk3399-rockpro64.dtb
kernel=vmlinuz-lts console=hvc0 earlycon=xen earlyprintk=xen clk_ignore_unused root=LABEL=ROCKROOT init=/sbin/init
ramdisk=initramfs-lts

- I am able to get just as far using boot.scr booting method, I will include an option for this boot method in the script

- I cannot get as far with the extlinux.conf, I can boot Xen but there does not appear to be a way to pass the dom0 location to it so it fails. I took the mboot.c32 binary out of Debian´s repository but it didn´t seem to like that. Might be possible at a later stage.
