RE: [Xen-users] debian lenny 3.2.1 doesn't boot, livexen boots just fine

Check out this (old) thread:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-08/msg00028.html
This isn't for grub2, and may not be related, but I had a similar problem
with Fedora (still existed in Fedora 8, I believe it still exists in RHEL
5.3).  For me, the problem was only for xenified kernels.  Others had the
same issue with other distributions.  The recommended patch at that URL is
also listed or otherwise mentioned in the Fedora and RedHat bug tracking
systems.  I don't know if grub has a bug tracking system or if the bug has
ever been reported for it.  Assuming not, then perhaps it made its way into
grub2 as well.  That said, I don't know if it would be possible to manually
make the changes from that patch or not (because I don't know if that piece
of source still exists in grub 2), but figured I would mention it in case it
could help.  Calling this a grub bug, IMHO, isn't necessarily accurate even
though grub CAN fix it (seems to be related to the BIOS in use, and could be
a BIOS bug), but that isn't to say that it definitely isn't [a grub bug]
either.

Subject: [Xen-users] debian lenny 3.2.1 doesn't boot, livexen boots just
fine


Hi. I have series x3500 ibm server running xen 3.0.3 from etch. When trying
to
use xen 3.2.1 from lenny, xen hangs without any messages just after grub2
starts booting the xen image.

When I tried livexen cd with xen 3.2.1 from lenny, it works just fine. The
only difference is probably that livexen uses grub legacy, while I have to
use
grub2, because my root is on raid+lvm.

Also, current configuration doesn't see all of the 6GB of ram, only the
first
3GB, even with pae xen installed, that's why I'm trying to get newer xen up.
However It might be problem with grub but I have no idea how to find out. 

I'd like to try to find out if I really can't get newer xen running before
I'll have to try using kvm or something like that.

Could anyone point me in some useful direction?

thanks
Martin Kraus
