Bug#505517: [grub-pc] Dosen't handle xen dom0 kernel automagically

Thu Nov 13 08:36:03 UTC 2008

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-12
Severity: normal

Hi, 

Willing to try Xen, I installed "xen-linux-system-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64", which 
came with a bunch of packages…

When I tried to boot the corresponding image, I got an error in Grub.

AFAIK and from what I gathered on the web, the entry "should be":

	multiboot /xen-3.2-1-amd64.gz dom0_mem=1024M
	module	/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/Tamino-Root ro quiet 
vga=792 
	module	/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-xen-amd64

instead of what is shown below. And in fact, it works.

I think that booting the Xen hypervisor should be more straightaway than now (I 
had to modify the grub-pc configuration).

Regards, 

Didier
