Bug#520164: grub: Error 13 for x2v-pae.gz (Microsoft Hyper-v)

[Oleg Palij]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-47lenny2
Severity: important

I'm trying to install Integration Components for Linux under Microsoft Hyper-v hypervisor.
I need run xen kernel under x2v (the component that translates Xen calls into into Hyper-V calls)
but grub does not recognize it

grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/x2v-pae.gz
Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

However:  SLES 10 sp1 and CentOS 5.2 recognize it correctly
SLES:
grub> kernel (hd0,1)/boot/x2v-pae.gz 
   [Multiboot-elf, <0xbb975000:0x114bc:0x0>
CentOS:
grub> kernel (hd0,0)/x2v-pae.gz
   [Multiboot-elf, <0x4337000:0x114bc:0x0>
