Alpine minirootfs is container-oriented and doesn't include openrc.
The default /sbin/init is a symlink to /sbin/openrc which doesn't
exist, causing a boot loop with:
can't run '/sbin/openrc': No such file or directory
Add init=/bin/sh to the guest kernel cmdline so the guest boots to
a shell prompt instead of failing to find the init system.

example-xen-guest-bundle: require xen and x11 in DISTRO_FEATURES2026-03-10T22:38:34+00:00Martin Jansamartin.jansa@gmail.com2026-03-10T13:58:15+00:00urn:sha1:5f6b41e41d35507985f562315eea165469df3e6b
to match the image recipe from XEN_GUEST_BUNDLES
Fixes:
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'xen-guest-image-minimal'
xen-guest-image-minimal was skipped: using DISTRO 'distro', which is missing required DISTRO_FEATURES: 'xen'
in bitbake world builds

xen: fix x86-64 boot and guest bundling issues2026-02-26T01:05:01+00:00Bruce Ashfieldbruce.ashfield@gmail.com2026-02-19T22:35:54+00:00urn:sha1:5c891aab54f1432f2afe75bf0dee0027fbb2e4bd
Fix several issues found during x86-64 Xen testing:
- xen-image-minimal: use -cpu host for KVM to avoid Xen CPUID
filtering stripping AVX/AVX2 from x86-64-v3 builds, causing
illegal instruction crashes in Dom0
- xen-image-minimal: use QB_MEM_VALUE (not QB_MEM) to properly
override the hard assignment in qemuboot-xen-defaults.bbclass
- xen-image-minimal: set dom0_mem=512M via QB_XEN_CMDLINE_EXTRA
- qemuboot-xen-x86-64.cfg: add dom0_mem=512M to static syslinux
config so guest autostart has memory available
- vgabios: use ${SAVANNAH_GNU_MIRROR} for reliable downloads
- alpine-xen-guest-bundle: add per-architecture checksums for
aarch64 and x86_64 tarballs, fix S variable warning

xen: add guest bundling infrastructure with cross-install class2026-02-26T01:05:01+00:00Bruce Ashfieldbruce.ashfield@gmail.com2026-02-19T19:14:00+00:00urn:sha1:1e88a57bfa40ec640962a8aaea6c1db6da990500
Add xen-guest-cross-install.bbclass for bundling Xen guest images into
Dom0 host images at build time. Supports per-guest configuration via
varflags (memory, vcpus, vif, kernel extra), custom config files,
external/pre-built guests, and autostart via /etc/xen/auto/ symlinks.
Also add example-xen-guest-bundle recipe as a template, and simplify
xen-guest-image-minimal by removing the old XEN_GUEST_AUTO_BUNDLE
do_deploy mechanism in favor of the new class-based approach.

alpine-xen-guest-bundle: new recipe for Alpine Linux Xen guest2026-02-26T01:05:01+00:00Bruce Ashfieldbruce.ashfield@gmail.com2026-02-12T18:30:54+00:00urn:sha1:2f3dcd4e0a45d1b976d266f04912fe43c68586f5
Fetches Alpine Linux 3.23 minirootfs tarball and uses the
xen-guest-bundle import system (rootfs_dir type) to create a
128MB ext4 disk image. Packages as an autostarting PV guest
using the shared host kernel.
Install into a Dom0 image with:
IMAGE_INSTALL:append:pn-xen-image-minimal = " alpine-xen-guest-bundle"
