[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#787229: Bug#787229: xen-hypervisor-4.4-amd64: xl command hangs on Dell R720

[Benoît Tonnerre]

Hi Ian,

You can close this bug report.
I finally succeed in installing Debian Jessie on the Dell PowerEdge R720.

The problem was indeed, a faulty installation due to os-prober, unable to
complete the scan of all the Xen LVM.

I have installed Debian Jessie without grub, than reboot in rescue mode.
I have created manually /etc/default/grub and add
"GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true".
I have installed grub, reboot and everything worked with xl commands.

Thank you again for your help.

Have a nice day.

Benoit
