I thought of following set: xen_hypervisor FILE XEN_OPTIONS xen_kernel FILE KERNEL_OPTIONS xen_initrd INITRD INITRD INITRD all initrds are concatenated. xen_xsm ???xen_ucode (and we might add more going forward). I don't see why the multiboot mechanism (kernel plus any number of modules) can't be used, without adding any Xen-specific directives. Loader commands traditionally reflected underlying protocol. Using multiboot command in this case would be confusing as this is not multiboot. But I agree that it is becoming ridiculous. Probably xen_kernel xen_module would be enough. JanOn arm64 it would use the arm64 xen FDT protocol but on x86 should we use multiboot2 if multiboot2 header is present and multiboot otherwise? Or do xen devs have other preferences?_______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
