re: pv-grub,
http://blog.xen.org/index.php/2008/08/28/xen-33-feature-pv-grub/
as per above, the capability has been officially added to xen source,
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-changelog/2008-09/msg00135.h tml
and is perfectly valid usage. commercial Xen hosting vendors currently use it, e.g.,
http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/PV-GRUB
where, interestingly, they actually offer openSUSE as a pv-grub DomU target. which requires (hd0) be used as the grub root.
i'm not certain this is a perl-bootloader issue, but rather an issue of an unpatched grub in opensuse -- i.e., one that can't handle the valid case of (hd0) without the can't-read-the-filesystem error above ...
Also as that it is not supported It should not be reported as bug but as enhancement and new feature to features.opensuse.org.
non-members can't submit a thing there. and membership-requests are simply not being responded to -- or at least not in a timely fashion.
OK, I create it myself as https://features.opensuse.org/306592 . You can add yourself as interested person and also add some comments as I provide only basic info. JR
OK I closed bug #516677 because it is feature request (FATE#306592). probably there will be necessary to update also yast2-bootloader. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
