Just dropping a line; xen-utils-4.0 4.0.1-5.7 breaks here too. Luckily, I hadn't upgraded my main xen hosts yet.

Package: xen-utils-4.0 Version: 4.0.1-5.2 Severity: important Tags: upstream patch pygrub in Debian Squueze does not support Grub2 submenus. At least Ubuntu Precise uses a submenu for older kernel versions, so a Precise domU with more than one kernel installed will be unbootable (without manual fixes) on a Squeeze dom0. Attached is a patch that adds submenu support to pygrub. -- System

Hello, xen-utils-4.1's pygrub is unable to boot VMs from a partitionless blockdev that has grub installed in first sector. I'm not sure it deserves a bug report, although it is kind of a regression from 4.0. Long story short: zeroing first sector of domU's boot blockdev fixes it. Maybe some of this report would be useful in the wiki, if someone else has the same (odd) setup. --- The

Package: xen-utils-3.0.3-1 Version: 3.0.3-0-4 Severity: normal Booting with pygrub doesn't work.

Please apply that patch to squeeze, otherwise you will not be able to boot even a standard squeeze installation! Since there is no pv-grub in squeeze I think it's quite important to fix it. Cheers, Darkbasic

Package: xen-utils-4.1 Version: 4.1.4-3+deb7u1 Severity: important When an LVM LV that serves as the root disk for a Xen DomU contains a boot loader (or possibly other data) in its volume boot record, pygrub fails to boot it, printing "Error: boot loader didn't return any data" before exiting. I think this is because of the function "is_disk_image" on line 45 of

Package: xen-utils-3.4 Version: 3.4.3~rc3-1 Severity: wishlist the upstream version of pygrub in 3.4.3 already supports grub2.

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.0-5 Severity: important virtinst Debian package is pointing the pygrub path to /usr/bin/ and hvmloader to /usr/lib/xen/boot/. I suggest ajust the path creating a symbolic link of /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/bin/pygrub to /usr/bin/pygrub and /usr/lib/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader to /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader. In the last case, need ajust the directory

Package: xen-utils-3.2-1 Version: 3.2.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi, There is a bug xen-3-3.2.1/tools/libfsimage/reiserfs/fsys_reiserfs.c, it is using "unsigned long" which is 64 bits on amd64 arch and 32 bits on i386 arch. This makes pygrub can't work on reiserfs on amd64 arch. You can easily reproduce it. A patch is included for fixing this problem. diff

Package: xen-utils-3.4 Version: 3.4.0-1 Severity: important pygrub uses the fsimage library to read contents of the filesystems to boot. This package install the plugins for different filesystems at /usr/lib/xen-3.4/lib/fs/, but searches for them under /usr//usr/lib/fs. (The debian patch tools-libfsimage-prefix.diff explicitly tinkers with this path, but it fails.) This breaks pygrub. --
