have these patches been applied to SLES 11? i.e., is SLES' pygrub already Grub2-aware?

None of them have been applied to SLES11. But like 11.3, most are in SLES11 SP1, with exception of 21188 and 21461. I don't think the latter is affecting you though, so 21188 is probably the fix you need. Have you tried that patch as described in your comment #1? (The steps are a bit overkill though. I think you could apply the patch directly to /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/grub/GrubConf.py and remove the corresponding .pyc.) Preston, do you have a Ubuntu pv domU handy? Can you try to reproduce this so we can verify if upstream c/s 21188 resolves the issue? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You need xen-unstable changeset 21188 and possibly 21461 http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/ffffddc4b1e0 http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/fa41b06a52a3 With c/s 21188 applied I'm able to boot Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.1. I'll add both changesets to our SLES11 SP1 repo. We've already updated our 11.3 repository to Xen 4.0.1, which contains both fixes. Look for these to appear in future maintenance updates of the products. BTW, your patch command above is correct and should fix your problem once you use it with the proper patch :-). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The problem you describe in #8 (no ncurses console) is due to some changes in Xen 4.0.1. Can you reinstall the packages from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/openSUSE11.3/openS... and add a link to /dev/gntdev in /dev/xen (cd /dev/xen/; ln -s /dev/gntdev .) then try again? I closed this bug since the fix for Grub2 support in pygrub was verified on 2 different systems (SLES11 SP1 and 11.3). I think you too will find the bug is fixed once you get past the gntdev issue - which is certainly a different and separate bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I don't see any problems with openSUSE 11.3 domUs on my system. But yes, please do open a new bug if you can reproduce with the xen packages in Virtualization:openSUSE11.3. Thanks.
