I just confirmed that for a guest with grub configuration entries for 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem and 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem (in that order) then bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub" bootloader_args = "--quiet" kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem" ramdisk = "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686-bigmem" will boot 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem whereas without the kernel and ramdisk lines it will boot 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem. > What's your opinion? This is long standing behaviour of the toolstack and although it's a little odd it's not totally useless (it could be very useful if you botch you grub configuration for example). I'll ask again, what do you think is wrong with the current behaviour and what are the benefits to changing it?
