Re: [Xen-devel] xen-4.8-rc7 in Stretch with linux-image 4.8 fails to boot domU with pv-grub

[Mark Pryor <tlviewer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry for the noise. I had the debian build flags like:

====== flags =======

DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1
include /usr/share/dpkg/default.mk
export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=-pie

======= snip ======

this caused pv-grub to fail to boot domU

Once I used

export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=-all

and rebuilt, things were good again.

I can't reproduce this issue. pvgrub is working just fine booting either
a 3.0 or a 4.9 pv-kernel (used a fresh xen git tree from staging).

Can you please start the domain with

xl create -c <your-config>

and have a look whether you see some error output from pvgrub? You
might want to redirect output to a file or issue the command in a
terminal window with logging enabled as the pvgrub menu will blank
out some of the output.
