Hello everybody,
I have created a patch for pygrub and I am sending it as an attachment. This patch mainly solves the issue of invalid default boot option in VM's configuration. If the entry doesn't exist, it doesn't exit with IndexError python exception but it uses first entry there to boot up the machine - same way like standard (real) grub does...
