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

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

Alright, I downloaded that tarball, had to apply the patch from 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41118 to get it to build, also applied all 
your patches from http://wiki.prgmr.com/mediawiki/index.php/Grub2
Same issue exists.

I rebuilt my image with set debug=all in my grub-bootstrap.cfg and 
grub.cfg.  On the hosts were grub2 works i see a bunch of debug output, 
on the hosts were it doesnt work, nothing shows.  Makes me think either 
grub2 is locking up right at the hit, or Xen isnt firing off grub2
I'm in your IRC channel if you'd like to talk in real time..
