At Xen Summit, Ian's presentation touched on PVGrub which is
intended to be a more secure replacement for PyGrub.

I've noticed that PyGrub doesn't honor the extra= parameter
in a VM config file (which adds additional kernel command line
parameters, e.g. extra=1 will boot single-user mode).

Will PVGrub?

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks... for the memory
I really could use more / My throughput's on the floor
The balloon is flat / My swap disk's fat / I've OOM's in store
Overcommitted so much
