Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Open GFW Howto

["Mu, Qin" <qin.mu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I try to build guest firmware of Xen/IA64 in the following build configuration:
       1. Build tools:
                 kernel: 2.6.18-53.el5
                RHEL5 build-in gcc: 4.1.2-14
                RHEL5 build-in binutils: 2.17.50.0.6-5.el5
                jrockit-R27.2.0-jdk1.5.10-linux-ipf
                Apache-ant-1.7.0
                Ant-contrib-1.0b2
                Saxonb8-1-1
                Xmlbeans-2.1.0
       2. Source:
                        Efi-vfirmware: http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware.hg
                        Edk2: https://edk2.tianocore.org/svn/edk2/trunk/edk2 -r 2398
      3. Runtime Environment:
                System : Tiger4
　　       OS :2.6.18-53.el5xen SMP IA64

Although the FV_RECOVERY.bin binary can be lucky generated by following the build instructions depicted in BKM file as the attachment of , the guest domain can't be created using it as guest firmware. A Zombie domain corresponding to that bad domain was listed after typing "xm list". And this zombie can't be removed only after restarting Xend.

After switching to using combination of gcc tool of version 4.2 and binutils of version 2.16.1 (both of them are self made by source code), the following build error occurred:

sections:
  [fwimage] SetupBrowser.dll  => SetupBrowser.efi
  [fwimage] FwImage : error E0000: /root/efi-vfirmware.hg/edk2-xen/Build/Xen/DEBUG_UNIXGCC/IPF/EdkModulePkg/Universal/UserInterface/SetupBrowser/Dxe/SetupBrowser/DEBUG/./SetupBrowser.dll : DOS header signature not found in source image
  [fwimage] ERROR = 2

Fortunately, guest domain can be successfully created by using the pre-compiled binary, xenia64-gfw.bin, located under binaries directory companying with source. 

Your help or any suggestion to fix my build problem will be appreciated very much!


Amy
