Feature changed by: pgnet Dev (pgnet) Feature #306592, revision 2 Title: PV Grub support in opensuse openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Josef Reidinger (jreidinger) Description: To xen is added new feature that allows using own kernel in XEN guest. More info is here http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/08/28/xen-33-feature-pv-grub/ (http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/08/28/xen-33-feature-pv-grub/) . Some xen hosting services already contain this functionality http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV-GRUB (http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV-GRUB) .Discussion about this feature happen on yast-devel mailing list http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2009-06/msg00071.html (http://lists.opensuse.org/yast-devel/2009-06/msg00071.html) + Discussion: + #1: pgnet Dev (pgnet) (2009-07-02 00:53:04) + i'll still argue that this is _not_ a feature request, and should've + been left open as a bug. + the point of the discussion was that it _does_ already work. opensuse + can be booted as a DomU from a pv-grub (32/64) kernel. + what's 'buggy' is opensuse's grub v0.97. as referenced in the + aforementioned thread, grub fails to recognize filesystems on + unpartitioned drives that are perfectly legitimately formatted devices + passed to the DomU. i.e., grub chokes when passed (hd0) -- if/as + required by pv-grub -- instead of its 'usual' (hd0,0). + the grub included in Xen PVGRUB/MiniOS image _has_ been patched to fix, + & the patch is referenced/provided above. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306592
