Package: xen-utils-4.0
Version: 4.0.1-2
Severity: normal
Trying to get a system that I've long had runing on the bare metal to
boot as a VM, I discovered that pygrub would not parse my menu.lst. The
problematic entry is this:
# This is a divider, added to separate the menu items below from the Debian
# ones.
title Other operating systems:
root
pygrub's parser seems to expect that "root" will be followed by a disk
specification. I get this traceback:

Thanks, I tested the config file in this link with the pygrub (using
[1]) from the above package version and it seemed ok. Closing the bug.
Cheers,
Ian.
