if needed, this approach works in forky (deb14) too.
It might be necessary to move the root symlinks out of the way:
cd /
mv vmlinuz vmlinuz.new
mv initrd.img initrd.img.new

cheers,

Hello xen-users,

Have you tried to boot a pvh domU using the i386-xen_pvh pvgrub2 kernel found in
grub-xen-host package? Called:
grub-i386-xen_pvh.bin

In both distro's the domU boot hung on me and I had to `xl destroy <domID>`.

Here is my applet approach to regenerate the *.bin using the distro grub2 software.

1) get the modules
apt-get install grub-xen-bin

2) download from here the 2 attachments, a grub2 script and the supervisor script.


4)  run it:./grub_user_mk_xen_image.sh i386 xen_pvh boot-grub-grub.cfg > mks.out 2>&1

hth,
PryMar56
