Package: grub2
Version: 1.95-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Update grub genereates entries that attempt to use the "linux" command
to load the Xen hypervisor. That command rejects hypervisor files.
Instead the "multiboot" command should be used to load the hypervisor.
The attached patch makes this change.
