Hi, Boot entries generated by /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen look like this (unnecessary parts omitted): multiboot /boot/xen-4.1-amd64.gz placeholder module /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 placeholder [...] module /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 This causes the last module, which is the initramdisk, to be unzipped by grub (and not by the linux kernel, which happens when booting without xen, using the 'linux' and 'initrd' directives). While this usually isn't a problem, the initramdisk may in fact contain multiple concatenated archives (see http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/early-userspace/buffer-format.txt for details). If that's the case and the first initrd is gzipped, grub tries to unzip the whole initrd resulting in an error (and an unbootable system). I strongly suggest adding --nounzip to the module directive of the initramdisk. The boot entries should look like this: multiboot /boot/xen-4.1-amd64.gz placeholder module /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 placeholder [...] module --nounzip /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 Kind regards, Lukas Schwaighofer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRFqjJAAoJEMqNQAGevU6TBbwQAJtUnV41UZT4weL5ovTUwjL1 hMjmUqCQmr/7Q6MLwRjWJoWwATLzW+SVSK1rEzpqhTTwro281t+zLhCLXT6kJQTS hzckUxDBpRbvvNHCsQIlwrCQ73ja7Sh/bmgyPScdlkHmEQ9a92WDVWQdHVinJpHa PFDu+htGA1dZmonjVzyPIlcZYx6USxz4xyqJcMyHvzs90o/YualCsMGEf059fhf6 p9egpRoRNevLRfLc0zFqrXDIR1eE8XeAxvoxU75aLQCwFs5FEuZ/zSj+eWhZoHUD h2JZ7jlrdoEbxmCwC5fXa2MgL2sHvda9m1yIysAzhL50lio03F3iqGnE1YslC7bR 6RsLhdiDp5VzeTM2tPSwil731E8DbBiMnPD+tffDZWGPAmXtZvWgBOrtT1bJtI0m R5NMGj6JPZr5UeI9F5bn3HRqT/+e+4pQiPDyToZlI+9sjXRGoJ/PAuAHcyyXAN/C QmFNgkip83wcqng1LgBgexE8DYbtljmp3aSo1PO4XVGOoMD69yxyIdjynI5diSa+ 35cfbyLizm8ezSjmzx0kPrXttfzhWR+/LCJaOHwl9Vk+OdxCnzrcwmNZmK3EMwDH hLLRouZkNFkuWoUC5ZpjSIMF5piH2M9Jpy7D2uBIrZsIeIv2jWXGoyO4OEeDPrZC /waZrsPSiiYv2rYjrqcj =qy1U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
