Bug#610428: grub-common: old-style xen kernels are not recognized as xen kernels by grub-mkconfig

[Christian Schwamborn]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-13
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

During the creation of /boot/grub/grub.cfg the script /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
searches for 'CONFIG_XEN_DOM0=y' in the kernels config file, which is present
in pv-ops kernels. Since old-style patched xen kernels do not have this
configuration attibute, they're not recognized as a xen kernel. For
compatibility reasons it would be beneficial to find something more common to
both, old and new kernels, like maybe 'CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST=y'.
