Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100710-1 (amd64)
(dom0) System is set up with a single disk with both /boot and / (root)
contained within an LVM2 physical volume.
When Xen (xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 4.0.1~rc3-1 and linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64
2.6.32-15) and Grub are installed
the following is automatically placed in/boot/grub/grub.cfg for the Xen menu
entries:
--
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 ...'
multiboot /boot/xen-4.0-amd64.gz placeholder
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 placeholder root=UUID=<UUID of
what seems to be the root device - (/dev/disk/by-uuid/<UUID> -> /dev/dm-0
(root))> ro quiet
--
Note that this contrasts with the non-Xen entries:
--
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/<LVM2 volume
group>-<LVM2 logical volume for root> ro quiet
--
Furthermore, the system has an ATI Radeon graphics card installed which seems
to
use Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) by
default and this causes further issues when starting the X server in the system
with Xen (in fact, firmware-linux-nonfree-0.26
had to be installed in order to get an X session regardless of Xen being
started
or not).
Working around is fairly straightforward - manually update the Xen entry in
grub.cfg as follows:
--
multiboot /boot/xen-4.0-amd64.gz placeholder
module /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 placeholder
root=/dev/mapper/<LVM2 volume group>-<LVM2 logical volume for root> ro quiet
nomodeset
--
However, I think that it would be useful to make this all a bit more user
friendly. Note that I'm intending to contact the Debian
Xen maintainers to see if KMS can be accommodated within the Xen packages, so
the 'nomodeset' entry may not be required.
N.B. It appears that the Xen menu entry is generated by
/etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen
hence filing this bug to grub-common
Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64
Libc6: 2.11.2-2 (amd64)
Thanks in advance for looking at this.
