[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#649349: xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64: pygrub fails due to invalid opcode trapped

[Alexandre Vaissière]

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64
Version: 4.1.1-3
Severity: important

Whenever I try to start a domU, xm create failed for
'Boot loader didn't return any data!'.

% sudo xm create -c squeeze.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/squeeze.cfg".
Error: Boot loader didn't return any data!

It seems related to the following error in dmesg
[1440.163935] pygrub[3654] trap invalid opcode ip:7f732a997c50 sp:7fff60eb2258 error:0 in ld-2.13.so[7f732a984000+1f000]

Note that pygrub does NOT fail If I launch 'pygrub mydisk.img' on a standard
kernel boot, only if the hypervisor is used (tested with linux-image-3.0.0
 and linux-image-2.39.2)

Here are logs taken from xend.log
