(some of) the problems here are related to a bug in grub2, fortunately, there's a workaround for now, the resulting entry looks about like this:
menuentry "Xen, Ubuntu, 2.6.29-xen-r4-xendom0" { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi set quiet=1 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,2) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set bf32104d-28bd-45fa-9a40-844bd5878a3c multiboot /xen-3.4.2.gz /xen-3.4.2.gz dom0_mem=512M dom0_max_vcpus=1 com1=115200 console=com1,vga module /vmlinuz-2.6.29-xen-r4-xendom0 ro root=/dev/mapper/bart-root ro console=hvc0 console=tty0 xencons=hvc module /initrd.img-2.6.29-xen-r4-xendom0 } notice the extra word added to the beginning each parameter list that doesn't do anything? grub will strip that off. that's why root= or other important options tend to fail. -- Xen entries not working under grub2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216176 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
