I have built & installed Xen 4.15 onto my Ubuntu20.04 platform successfully according to https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source
After reboot, I entered Domain 0 successfully. The command xl info shows the right version string.

Then my next step is to create ubuntu guest VM(sudo or use root user):
/usr/local/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 1 -xen-domid 4 -machine xenfv -m 4G -net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -hda ./u2004.qcow2 -boot d -cdrom ./ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso
However, I always failed with the following error:
qemu-system-x86_64: failed to map ioreq server resources: error 3 handle=0x55eeb1f6c0b0
qemu-system-x86_64: xen hardware virtual machine initialisation failed
After debugging, the error is caused by osdep_xenforeignmemory_map_resource failed to invoke IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE. And this IOCTL will return -1.
So my question is, am I using the right qemu command? Anything else is needed to set/config?
Note, if I didn't specify the option ' -xen-domid 4 -machine xenfv ', I can start qemu successfully
Any suggestions/help will be greatly appricated.
