Hi,

Let me start a new thread for this.  I contacted the Grub people, and
they seem more interested in creating a native Xen port of Grub than
piggybacking the Mini-OS environment usin kexec as I tried.  But they
need some documentation on the Xen "firmware" to assess the task at
least.  What could be given to them apart from hvc_xen.c and
xen-blkfront.c in the Linux sources?  blkif-drivers-explained.txt?

For a start, Grub has a Coreboot port, which is ELF, but the Xen 3.2
domain builder refuses to load it saying:

xc_dom_parse_elf_kernel: ELF image has no shstrtab
-- 
Thanks,
Feri.
