Re: [Xen-users] Pvgrub on Debian dom0

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,

Sorry for the delay.

Im using grub.cfg with a sym link to menu.lst, I donât actually have grub 
installed on the domu.

The domu will boot if I type the path to the grub.cfg or menu.lst but will not 
automatically.

Thanks

Ian

grub.cfg is the grub2 file, whereas pvgrub is currently grub1 (sometimes called 
grub legacy). Both the syntax and the location of the config file differs 
between the two versions of grub.

I'm not sure if anyone is working on pvgrub2, I thought I'd heard a rumour of 
it.

There is a tool, pv-grub-menu.lst, which has been proposed for Debian[0] which 
helps you create and manage a legacy style menu.lst.

I think grub-legacy is also still in Debian, but you might need to explicitly 
install it rather than grub2.

Ian.
