I have grub2 installed on an Opensuse Xen 4.9 Dom0 host, grub2-2.02-3.1.x86_64 grub2-i386-pc-2.02-3.1.x86_64 grub2-x86_64-efi-2.02-3.1.x86_64 grub2-x86_64-xen-2.02-3.1.x86_64 kernel-default-4.11.0-4.1.gcb15206.x86_64 xen-4.9.0_04-493.2.x86_64 xen-libs-4.9.0_04-493.2.x86_64 xen-tools-4.9.0_04-493.2.x86_64 reading @ https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_EFI, multiboot2 is supposedly supported ... Xen as gz binary ... Xen 4.9 and later implements both multiboot and multiboot2. ... with instructions to Inspect the grub.cfg. Make sure that it has 'multiboot2' and 'module2' for Xen Here, ls -al /boot/xen*gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 984K May 12 01:20 /boot/xen-4.9.0_04-493.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 12 09:31 /boot/xen-4.9.gz -> xen-4.9.0_04-493.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 12 09:31 /boot/xen-4.gz -> xen-4.9.0_04-493.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 984K May 12 01:18 /boot/xen-dbg-4.9.0_04-493.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 May 12 09:31 /boot/xen-dbg-4.9.gz -> xen-dbg-4.9.0_04-493.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 May 12 09:31 /boot/xen-dbg-4.gz -> xen-dbg-4.9.0_04-493.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 May 12 09:31 /boot/xen-dbg.gz -> xen-dbg-4.9.0_04-493.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 May 12 09:32 /boot/xen.gz -> xen-4.9.0_04-493.gz but, grub.cfg still appears to use the chainloader mech, with no mention of "multiboot2" cat /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ... ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### menuentry 'OpenSUSE, with Xen hypervisor' --class opensuse --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen $menuentry_id_option 'xen-gnulinux-simple-4716053b-39da-4cc1-a7ce-72171b862357' { echo 'Loading Xen 4.9.0_04-493 with Linux 4.11.0-4.gcb15206-default ...' chainloader $cmdpath/xen-4.9.0_04-493.efi xen-4.9.0_04-493.efi /mapbs config.1 } submenu 'Advanced options for OpenSUSE (with Xen hypervisor)' $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-advanced-4716053b-39da-4cc1-a7ce-72171b862357' { submenu 'Xen hypervisor, version 4.9.0_04-493' $menuentry_id_option 'xen-hypervisor-4.9.0_04-493-4716053b-39da-4cc1-a7ce-72171b862357' { menuentry 'OpenSUSE, with Xen 4.9.0_04-493 and Linux 4.11.0-4.gcb15206-default' --class opensuse --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen $menuentry_id_option 'xen-gnulinux-4.11.0-4.gcb15206-default-advanced-4716053b-39da-4cc1-a7ce-72171b862357' { echo 'Loading Xen 4.9.0_04-493 with Linux 4.11.0-4.gcb15206-default ...' chainloader $cmdpath/xen-4.9.0_04-493.efi xen-4.9.0_04-493.efi /mapbs config.2 } menuentry 'OpenSUSE, with Xen 4.9.0_04-493 and Linux 4.11.0-3.g39615a9-default' --class opensuse --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --class xen $menuentry_id_option 'xen-gnulinux-4.11.0-3.g39615a9-default-advanced-4716053b-39da-4cc1-a7ce-72171b862357' { echo 'Loading Xen 4.9.0_04-493 with Linux 4.11.0-3.g39615a9-default ...' chainloader $cmdpath/xen-4.9.0_04-493.efi xen-4.9.0_04-493.efi /mapbs config.3 } } } ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### ... checking, the current grub appears to have multiboot2 modules installed ls -al {/usr/lib/grub2,/boot/grub2}/x86_64-efi/multiboot2* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25K May 12 08:52 /boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/multiboot2.mod -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25K May 12 00:21 /usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-efi/multiboot2.mod -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 164K May 12 00:21 /usr/lib/grub2/x86_64-efi/multiboot2.module So it looks like the pieces are there ... What needs be done to enable the multiboot2 usage? Additional/different config on my part? Or, is support -- either from the grub2 or Xen sides -- not yet fully implemented? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-virtual+owner@opensuse.org
