Hi, I ran into this bug on bookworm and was able to fix an existing machine by booting the old kernel and then converting it to pvgrub. But... I am unable to create new pvgrub compatible DomU's now because xen-create-image does not support pvgrub. I attempted to work around this by adding a

Control: fixed -1 4.19.1-1 Control: affects -1 linux-image-amd64 Good to hear you were able to solve the problem for you by moving to pvgrub. I'm marking this bug as fixed in the xen version in unstable (as it should be really fixed there), but will leave the bug open as it still affects bookwor

I've just noticed, 6.11.7 already has this option enabled, yet it boot fine. So whatever change was introduced, when trying to boot the VM with xl top, these were the error messages produced: Waiting for domain ts (domid 2) to die [pid 2645] Domain 2 has shut down, reason code 1 0x1 Action for
