Hi,

Is there any method to boot PVHv2 domain using a kernel fetched from that domain's disk image, _without_ mounting it in dom0? Something like pvgrub was for PV.

Hello,

Anthony (Cced) is working on an OVMF port, so it can be used as firmware for PVHv2 guests.

I cannot seem to be able to find the original cover-letter of that patch series, this is the best I could find:

https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2017-January/006148.html

Here for the cover-letter: https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-12/msg00953.html

Thanks!

But that a UEFI firmware, so I guess the guest would need UEFI support backed into the disk image.

That's totally ok. I assume it should point at linux.efi, not grub.efi, right?
