Debian Squeeze is now using grub2 as the default bootmanager. Because of this pygrub has some difficulties to boot the domU after installing it. Here are the things i found out, if you have more remarks, drop me a comment please.
First off all, because of the new grub2 you have to use at least xen-tools in the version 3.4.3. The developers has first added the support to 4.x, but then they have made a back-port and released this officially in 3.4.3.
Ok now the new grub gets detected correctly by pygrub, but I still got an error message like this:
xen ~# xm create server02
Error code: Using class 'grub.GrubConf.Grub2ConfigFile' to parse /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Error parameters: WARNING:root:Unknown directive load_video, Traceback (most recent call last):, File "/usr/bin/pygrub", line 746, in ?, raise RuntimeError, "Unable to find partition containing kernel", RuntimeError: Unable to find partition containing kernel,The problem is an argument which is used in the grub.conf file. We have to change it a little bit. For this we have to mount the boot/root partition of the installed guest domU. If you don’t know how you can do this, you can find the information here.
Open the grub.cfg file (boot/grub/grub.cfg) in your favorite editor.
Change msdos infos to a normal grub entry
hd0,msdos1 -> hd0,0Do this for all entries.
Keep in mind that debian perhaps update this file
