Hey guys,
what I am trying to do is a chainload into
grub2 installation in a DomU. So far I determined, PV-GRUB does not understand
grub2’s grub.cfg notation. So I created a dummy menu.lst which has the
needed root kernel and initrd rows and then referenced this to the DomUs config.
The main intention to do this, is to be able to use kernel upgrades without
touching the menu.lst for compatibility reasons.
The Point is, it just wont do L
Basically what I am doing is:
Xm create –c /etc/xen/test.cfg
Then dropping to grubdom
Grubdom > root (hd0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type
0x83
Grubdom > chainloader +1
Grubdom > boot
Error 8: Kernel must be loaded before booting
I don’t get the point here. I don’t
want to specify a kernel, I just want to chainload into grub2 and let him do
the bootup. I also tried installating grub2 in the partition itself and then
referencing to (hd0,0).
My childs config contains:
kernel =
'/usr/lib/xen-default/boot/pv-grub-x86_64.gz'
extra = '(hd0,0)/boot/grub/menu.lst'
disk = [
'iscsi:iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:0-9182312-disk,xvda,w' ]
If I just use the correct menu.lst everything
works fine, but then im skipping chainloading into grub2 and I need to maintain
the menu.lst everytime a kernel update is released.
Anyone has experience with chainloading
using pv-grub?
Appreciate any hint.
Thanks
Thomas
