Description:
According to the wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xen#Configuring_a_paravirtualized_(PV)_Arch_domU), kernel module `xen-fbfront` is required to use Arch Linux as a paravirtualized Xen guest, but the current kernel doesn't ship with this module. Please include the `xen-fbfront` kernel module so that Arch Linux will work with Xen virtualization. I think all we have to do is to add `CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=m` to the kernel's config file. Additional info: * package version(s) 5.16.2.arch1-1 |

Without it it's not impossible to get into an OS, as you can use the serial console if you know how to set it up.
Please enable the config option for both the linux and linux-hardened packages.
