I recommend using grub-install now rather than following obsolete manual instructions Also EFI doesn't have an easily accessible VGA text, which is used by default by xen. So you need to use serial console or boot blindly. You may want to contact Xen about using graphical console. Also if xen makes any BIOS calls it will crash. If xen uses ACPI or DMI you need to issue "fakebios" command as workaround and contact XEN about using ACPI and SMBIOS pointers from MBI. > Best regards, > > S=C3=B8ren Gr=C3=B8nning Iversen > > _______________________________________________ > Grub-devel mailing list > Grub-devel@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel > --=20 Regards Vladimir '=CF=86-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko --------------enig10DBC0CBFA23AC3F796F13E5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREKAAYFAkzs6ZQACgkQNak7dOguQgkJjQEAjNiu38F5l1XXEP6vk1myjIw3 xNMDC9+VbhmrVO7LfIwBAJM0bEZfAULKda0CFsagbEwIOLgfmlepW94sDoHPPZ1e =PPnK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig10DBC0CBFA23AC3F796F13E5--
