[Pkg-xen-devel] Hi I'd like to share my findings

[fuzzy sunshine]

I hope someone sees this,

I just installed the latest version of testing today and installed the
current xen packages ( w/HVM ) and I noticed that I couldn't boot into Xen,
it would wait 5 seconds and reboot.  I tried the single user mode, and it
worked.  I compared the two entries and noticed that besides the only
difference being one had "quiet" at the end of the kernel line and the other
having "single" naturally.  However, between the "ro" and "quiet" there was
an extra space.  I tried to delete this space manually from within the
bootloader and it would continue to fail upon boot.  I tried to replace
"quiet" with "single" and again it failed.  So I used the working single
mode and edited grub.cfg manually to remove that space, rebooted, and it
worked!

So here's what I have to report:

Anytime you view/edit the grub2 entry your interested in, it fails.

Any extra spaces in the kernel command line, it fails.

If you have an extra space, remove it and everything starts working.

Also for the record I'm using software raid 1 for my /boot and using lvm on
top of soft raid 6 for the other logical volumes.

Any questions I'd be happy to answer.
