I use the Minnowboard Max board to test XenGT but there's only EFI. I was wondering if there is any experience of booting Xen-GT on a EFI system so I followed this documents :

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_EFI
http://xenbits.xenproject.org/docs/unstable/misc/efi.html

xen.efi compilation succeeded but a few documentation is available for the configuration file. Is the grub vgt options could be also working with efi ?

This is what is get when I boot xengt :

It seems that the board reboot juste after that.

This is my xen.cfg configuration file :

[global]
default=xengt

[xengt]
options=console=vga,com1 com1=115200 loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all conring_size=4M noreboot
kernel=vmlinuz-vgt-3.17.0-rc4-vgt ignore_loglevel root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 ro quiet
