I have successfully installed Fedora 18 Beta as Dom0 on one computer, and am now trying to do the same on another. I am using all of the standard Fedora 18 packages, including xen-4.2.0-6.fc18.x86_64.
On the second computer, I ended up with an EFI grub2 install.
I used yum to install xen, and noted that the package installation did not update /etc/grub2-efi.cfg.
I ran grub2-mkconfig by hand, and this added Xen entries to /etc/grub2-efi.cfg. However, booting failed: grub2 complained that it did not know the multiboot keyword.
Does anyone have experience getting EFI grub2 to boot Xen/Fedora 18? Is my trouble expected?
Did you try native UEFI boot? So booting the xen.efi binary directly from UEFI ?
Also note that F18 kernel doesn't have proper UEFI support for dom0 (yet), because it hasn't been upstreamed yet..
