Re: [Xen-users] GRUB2 randomly works on some hosts but not others?

["Shaun Reitan" <shaun.reitan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Grub2 doesnt have an offical release as far as I can tell, everything 
i've found says to grab it from git.  Even the xen blog about it says 
that.  Distros running grub2 these days are also running a beta.
It's not dumping me to a Dom0 prompt, thats me existing the console.

I'm starting to think this may be memory related.  I've tested this on a 
couple hosts with less than 32GB of RAM in them and grub2 seams to work 
on them.  Anything with 32 or more GB seams to fail... least so far.
