Package: grub-xen
Version: 2.04-9
Severity: important
Linux cloud image 5.5.0-2 refuses to boot in a Xen VM from grub-xen.
Older versions up to and including 5.5.0-1 work, and all versions after
5.5.0-2 fail to boot.
Here's the error message:
Loading Linux 5.6.0-1-cloud-amd64 ...
error: not xen image.
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first.
I ran a diff between the config files packaged with 5.5.0-1 and 5.5.0-2
and couldn't find any significant differences other than:
< CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y
---
> # CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ is not set
< # CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 is not set
---
> CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4=y
I don't really know how the grub works internally, but it seems to me
that we're missing lz4io.mod? Is there a way to force grub-xen to load
the image, even tho it's not recognized as a xen image?
Best Regards,
