Ah, I see! OK, I think I may know what *might* have happened. I think the make script did try to do what it said in the instructions here when it started to install the generated deb packages: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/ but I remember it throwing an error somewhere along the line saying it couldn't find the kernel header files. But *that* was because it was installing the kernel header file deb package afterwards; or in other words, the gresecurity kernel header package wasn't installed yet at that point in time. So maybe a step was missed. That said, I now have a properly booting debian 8 template with a gresecurity kernel. What you need to do is this: After you follow the github instructions but before you reboot, run: sudo dkms autoinstall -k 4.8.12-coldkernel-grsec-1 sudo update-initramfs -u sudo update-grub2 which is essentially the final part of the "Installing kernel in Debian VM" instructions. And then the machine should boot up fine when you switch to the pvgrub2 kernel. Or, at least it did for me.
