extlinux is really not an ideal solution for a lot of VM work. Now that foreign architecture support has been added upstream (to allow for u-boot) the addition of Grub2 support added upstream makes me think that this issue with syslinux is possibly irrelevant.
If you agree that Grub2 support is a viable fix for the issue behind this bug, please feel free to close this bug. Note that grub2 at the version in wheezy currently has problems with loop devices which means that grub2 support in vmdebootstrap for wheezy requires the VM to be booted (with extlinux) and grub2 setup completed manually. After this point, grub2 takes over managing kernel updates etc. If extlinux still needs to cope with upgraded kernels, an alternative fix will be needed which does not impact on the other use cases of vmdebootstrap. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
