[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#753358: pygrub not working when a disk script is in use
reassign 753358 src:xen tags 753358 + moreinfo thanks Hi Arno, Wolodja, Adam, This is about the bug report that you filed before about using pygrub in the Debian bug tracker against the Xen packages. Your bug report was targeted at a Xen package in a Debian distribution older than the current stable (Stretch) and hasn't seen activity for more than three years now. Can you please help us by confirming that any of the following scenarios does apply to your situation? * I had this problem a long time ago. It was never solved, but I found a workaround, which is ... * I had this problem a long time ago, and I solved it by not using Xen any more, but by doing ... * I still experience this problem, and I'm still using Xen 3.2/4.1/4.4/etc. I cannot upgrade to Debian Stretch or Buster because ... * I had this problem, and since upgrading to Stretch / Buster / ? it seems it was solved, and I forgot to report it again. Please close it, thanks. * Other: ... Note that even if you found a solution, it's still very useful to report it back to our bug tracker. There might be someone else running into the same problem, who can be helped with your information. Please note that unless there's a response within a month from now, we will close the bug report. If you discover this message later, and this case is important to you, then you can try unarchiving the bug and replying to it, or reach out to the maintainers email list at pkg-xen-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org (no subscription required) and post a message. ---- >8 ---- In this specific case, since it's about pygrub, I can also recommend trying to switch to the grub2 bootloader instead which can boot PV and also PVH guests (with Debian Linux 4.19 kernel package) right now. In the domU you need grub-xen [0] and in the dom0 you need grub-xen-host [1]. A 32-bit or 64-bit PV domU would be started by either grub-i386-xen.bin or grub-x86_64-xen.bin, and all PVH can be started with the new grub-i386-xen_pvh.bin. The domU will need to have a grub configuration file pointing to the installed kernel image. No boot sector etc is needed.
